Canada to unveil response to new US tariffs as trade war escalates

rte.ie

Canada will announce its response to new US tariffs, escalating a trade war between the former close allies. The announcement follows failed talks and new levies on Canadian goods. Canadian ministers will hold a press conference in Ottawa to detail countermeasures. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced retaliatory tariffs effective September 8, targeting US steel, dairy, agricultural equipment, paper, and electronics, after rejecting a "bad deal." The US is Canada's largest trading partner, receiving 70% of its exports. Polling shows three in four Canadians support walking away from talks, though two in five fear for their jobs.
