- Duties on US steel and aluminum doubled to 50%.
- Action taken Tuesday to bolster Canada’s trade negotiation stance.
Canada officially imposed retaliatory tariffs on a broad range of US goods on Tuesday, deepening the trade dispute between the two nations. The duties, which range from 15% to 50%, target approximately $27.6 billion in American imports, including steel, aluminum, agricultural equipment, paper products, and household appliances. Notably, the import tax on US steel and aluminum products was doubled to 50%. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government initiated these measures following the collapse of recent trade talks, aiming to strengthen Ottawa’s negotiating position. While the broader economic impact is anticipated to be limited, businesses with integrated supply chains and cross-border commerce are expected to face sharper consequences.
