Canada hits back with dollar-for-dollar tariffs on U.S. goods

Canada announced dollar-for-dollar counter-tariffs on U.S. imports, effective Sept. 8, targeting products like dishwashers, refrigerators, video game consoles, fish, cheese, and clothing at rates of 15, 25, and 50 percent, alongside $7.5 billion in business and worker support. The move responds to recent American levies, with Ottawa framing it as a direct retaliation. The tariffs cover a broad range of consumer goods, while the funding aims to mitigate economic fallout for affected industries. Separately, U.S. President Donald Trump accused Prime Minister Mark Carney of lying about French language disputes in trade talks, a claim Carney has not addressed, though Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly has responded.
