Canada's incoming tariffs target US cheese, honey, aluminum foil, and hundreds of other items as trade war heats up
Canada is rolling out a flurry of new tariffs on US goods on Tuesday morning, adding levies of up to 50% on items like dairy and steel.
Canada is imposing up to 50% tariffs on a wide range of US imports starting Tuesday, as tensions in the US-Canada trade war escalate. The new levies will affect hundreds of US goods, such as cheese, honey, and aluminum foil, in retaliation for Trump's August tariffs on Canadian products like beer and milk. President Donald Trump also threatened to block Canadian plane maker Bombardier from selling in the US.
The trade conflict has left businesses and consumers uncertain, with some Canadian companies relocating production to the US and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney criticizing the US for "doing memes" and "throwing shade." The Canadian tariffs, ranging from 15% to 50% depending on the item, aim to match the impact of the US tariffs on tens of billions of dollars in goods.
