Canada will impose retaliatory tariffs on US imports starting September 8, escalating a trade war between the neighbors. The move follows the breakdown of talks last week. The Canadian government will apply duties of 15%, 25%, and 50% across 700 products, including steel and appliances, to match dollar-for-dollar new US tariffs. Washington implemented increases on Canadian goods Saturday, covering alcohol, wood products, and clothes. US President Donald Trump announced further tariff hikes on steel, cars, and car parts Monday, effective January. This breaking news story is being updated with more details to follow.
