Canada announces retaliatory tariffs on US goods as trade dispute deepens
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada will impose tariffs on US steel, dairy, electronics and other products starting September 8, matching Washington's new 50 percent levy on $20bn of Canadian goods. Carney stated the US demands were 'uneconomic, unfair' and undermined Canada's trade independence, including threats to Quebec's culture. No new talks are planned as the standoff worsens.
