China imposes 100% tariffs on Canadian goods

economictimes.indiatimes.com

China has announced tariffs of up to 100% on Canadian goods, including canola and pork, starting March 20. This action is in response to Canada's tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, steel, and aluminum imposed last year. The tariffs serve as a warning to Canada and Mexico against cooperating with the U.S. on trade. China aims to discourage Canada from increasing tariffs on Chinese imports amid ongoing trade discussions with the U.S. China's Ministry of Commerce urged Canada to lift its tariffs, while the Canadian government has not yet responded. The situation reflects ongoing tensions in North American trade relations.
