Canada on Tuesday announced counter tariffs on US goods ranging between 15 percent and 50 percent, as a trade war intensifies between the historically close allies.
Ottawa’s retaliatory duties take effect September 8, a timeframe earlier outlined by Prime Minister Mark Carney after US President Donald Trump’s 50-percent duties on Canadian products came into place Saturday.
Canadian officials said Tuesday that the new duties will match US tariff levels, while announcing a $5.4 billion aid package for impacted firms and workers.
