Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

Canada has imposed tariffs on around $20 billion worth of US products, including steel, dairy products, appliances, and agricultural equipment. The move is a retaliation against US tariffs imposed by Donald Trump, which include a 50% levy on certain Canadian goods. The new Canadian tariffs affect everyday items such as seafood, cheese, clothing, cosmetics, and hygiene products, with some products facing duties of up to 50%.

The trade tensions threaten one of the world's largest trading relationships. Trump also plans to raise tariffs on Canadian steel and cars to 50% from January 1, 2027.
