Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on American products went into effect on Sept. 8, prompting President Donald Trump to retaliate with additional bans and tariffs on Canadian goods.
Canada imposed 15%, 25% and 50% tariffs on American goods following the U.S.’ Aug. 22 imposition of 50% tariffs on nearly $28 billion of Canadian goods.
“Canada’s counter tariffs will apply to products covering $27.6 billion in imports from the U.S. and will focus on sectors such as steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics, that are most impacted by U.S. tariffs,” the government said.
Following Canada’s retaliation, on Sept. 8, Trump released several proclamations banning certain Canadian products and modifying the scope of tariffs on others. The actions include banning certain alcohol and dairy products, and adding all-terrain vehicles and dairy products in place of rock salt and cement on the tariff list.
The import bans will take effect Sept. 29, and the product additions and removals will take effect Sept. 15.
