  "summary": "Canada has responded to retaliatory tariffs imposed by the United States with its own set of tariffs on over $20 billion worth of American goods, including steel, dairy products, appliances, and farm equipment. This escalation in the trade war threatens one of the world's largest trading relationships and has put pressure on Canadian businesses and consumers. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne called the situation an \"unprecedented challenge,\" while Industry Minister Mélanie Joly urged Canadians to buy Canadian goods to protect jobs and launch a \"movement of resistance.\"",
