Canada to hit U.S. with retaliatory tariffs Tuesday

ca.news.yahoo.com

Canada will announce retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. on Tuesday, according to sources cited by CTV, following failed trade talks. Prime Minister Mark Carney vowed dollar-for-dollar tariffs on American goods with equal measures. Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne and Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu will announce the measures Tuesday night, with Ottawa also expanding Employment Insurance to support workers. The announcement follows U.S. President Donald Trump's pledge to increase tariffs on all cars, trucks, automotive parts and steel from Canada by 50% in January. Trump's social media post criticized Canada's trade relationship, claiming the U.S. doesn't need Canada, while Carney rejected U.S. negotiation terms that restricted other countries' trade deals.
