Canada hits back with tariffs on US goods from Sept 8

Canada will impose tariffs on US imports starting September 8. This is a response to Trump's 50 per cent duties on $28 billion of Canadian exports.

Why it mattersThe tariffs could harm Canadian industries and lead to job losses. The conflict complicates the future of the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. This agreement has protected most Canadian exports to the US for 18 months.
