Canada\u2019s retaliatory tariffs on imports from the United States have taken effect, escalating the trade dispute between the two countries.<\/p>\n

Tariffs ranging from 15 percent to 50 percent<\/a> will apply to nearly $20bn worth of US imports from 12:01am ET (04:01 GMT) on Tuesday, matching US-imposed levies on Canadian goods including machinery, textiles and consumer products.<\/p>\n

The new retaliatory tariffs apply to products including steel, household appliances, agricultural equipment and dairy.<\/p>\n

\u201cCanada will match Washington\u2019s new tariffs dollar for dollar in order to protect Canadian workers, farmers, families, and businesses,\u201d Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters in late August.<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump announced 50 percent tariffs against Canada<\/a> in July, citing \u201cdiscriminatory treatment\u201d of US products. The announcement prompted the countries to enter trade talks<\/a> in August, but a final deal failed to materialise<\/a> before a deadline imposed by Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cCanada wants the benefits of being a State, without being one!!!\u201d Trump posted on Truth Social in response to Canada\u2019s announcement in August.<\/p>\n

The Canadian government said in a statement that the counter-tariffs will impact more than 700 products, adding that it would launch a $5.42bn support package for affected small and medium-sized businesses and workers.<\/p>\n

On the eve of Ottawa imposing its tariffs, Trump threatened<\/a> to block Canada-based aircraft manufacturer Bombardier from selling its planes in the US unless it began manufacturing them in the country.<\/p>\n

The dispute has also extended beyond tariffs, with Trump signing an order last month renaming Lake Ontario \u201cLake America\u201d for US federal use.<\/p>\n

The retaliatory tariffs<\/a> could place a financial burden on US automakers as Canada is the largest buyer of US-manufactured cars.<\/p>\n

Americans could soon see increased prices on 550 consumer goods from Canada. According to a report from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, US importers and consumers absorb 96 percent of the tariff burden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trade tensions soar as Canada matches US tariffs \u2018dollar-for-dollar\u2019, impacting 700 products and multiple industries.
