Canadá responde a Trump con aranceles a productos de EEUU por 20.000 millones de dólares

Las nuevas tarifas, de hasta el 50%, afectan a compras cotidianas como marisco, queso, ropa, cosméticos y papel higiénico. Leer

Canadá responded to US President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods with tariffs of its own, totaling $20 billion, according to wire material. The new tariffs, which can reach up to 50%, impact everyday purchases such as seafood, cheese, clothing, cosmetics, and toilet paper. The trade war between North America intensifies as Canada retaliates against the United States.

The tension threatens one of the world's largest trade relationships. The new tariffs extend beyond industrial goods, affecting everyday purchases like seafood, cheese, clothing, cosmetics, and toilet paper, with some products subject to taxes of up to 50%. Canada's response came after U.S. President Trump imposed 50% tariffs on Canadian products last weekend following failed trade negotiations. Trump also stated yesterday that he would raise tariffs on steel and cars from Canada to 50% starting January 1, 2027.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney accused Washington of trying to subordinate Canada and said that the U.S. demands during the failed talks on the renewal of the T-MEC trade agreement demonstrated that the Americans wanted to destroy Canada's main industries.
