Canada Unveils Retaliatory Tariffs on Approximately $20 Billion of U.S. Goods
Canada is preparing to implement new tariffs on roughly $20 billion of American products. This move is a direct response to the 50% duties that President Donald Trump's administration previously imposed, following a stalemate in trade negotiations.
Canadian Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc stated that the preferred course of action was to avoid imposing tariffs. He expressed that Canada's preference was to reach a mutually beneficial agreement with the United States, and that he still believes this is achievable. However, LeBlanc indicated that Canada would not passively await a resolution and is proceeding with its retaliatory measures.
Official announcements regarding Ottawa's counter-measures to the U.S. actions are scheduled to be made at a press conference at 11 a.m. ET.
