  "account": "Canada has announced retaliatory tariffs on $19.94 billion worth of US goods, matching the new duties imposed by Washington in a trade war. The counter-tariffs will take effect on US goods from September 8 and impose duties of 15%, 25%, and 50% on 700 products imported from the US. Canada also unveiled a C$7.5 billion financial support package to help affected workers and industries, including measures for small and medium-sized businesses and cash flow support. This escalation in the Canada-US trade relationship marks a low point in the two countries' relationship.",
