Canada hits back in trade war with US, imposing tariffs on billions in goods

Canada imposes import duties on about 17 billion euros on US products from the US, a retaliation for Trump's tariffs. The new tariffs take effect September 8. The duties of 15, 25, or 50 percent apply to roughly 500 products, including aluminum, furniture, cheese, electronics, and appliances. The amount matches the US tariffs on Canadian goods. Canada also announced a 4.5 million euro support package for affected businesses. Negotiations collapsed at the last minute, with both sides blaming each other. Key sticking points included US demands on pick-up truck tariffs and French language labels for Quebec food products. Trump has not yet responded to Canada's new sanctions.
