The fate of tariffs on Canadian exports to the United States remains uncertain, but as the fourth day of a North American trade war continues, Ottawa has made one thing clear: Until U.S. President Donald Trump calls off his attacks, Canada’s retaliatory tariffs aren’t going anywhere. Source
Canadian Tariff Details
Imposed shortly after midnight Tuesday, the Canadian tariffs of 25 per cent target $30 billion in U.S. goods designed to target products with a high impact on American stakeholders, but with impacts that can be mitigated on this side of the border, CTV News reported. A second batch of tariffs, valued at $125 billion, has been put on temporary hold, pending developments as Trump continues to modify the arrangement of his own tariff plan.
The tariffs impact products including food and drink, clothing, cosmetics, home wares, furniture and appliances, tobacco, lumber, paper and more. Motorcycles, car parts and precious metals also make an appearance on the full list, which identifies more than 1,250 individual tariff items.
