  "summary": "Canada has announced retaliatory tariffs on hundreds of American products, with rates as high as 50 percent. The tariffs, which will take effect on September 8, are in response to the collapse of negotiations between Canada and the US. According to The Hill, Canadian Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said Canada will match the US's tariffs \"dollar for dollar, rate for rate.\"\n\nThe New Straits Times reports that the tariffs will be imposed on C$27.6 billion (US$19.94 billion) worth of US goods, with duties of 15 percent, 25 percent, and 50 percent across 700 products. CBS News states that the amount of goods impacted translates to about $20 billion in US dollars, and will focus on steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics.\n\nCanada has also announced a C$7.5 billion package of new and enhanced measures to support Canadian businesses and workers caught in the trade war, including support for small and medium-sized businesses, funding for cash flows of companies, and support for workers who could be at risk due to the new tariffs, as per the New Straits Times.",
