The United States has imposed new 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian products, escalating trade tensions between the two neighbours.
The US administration said the measures were introduced in response to what it described as Canada’s discriminatory treatment of American-made vehicles, alcoholic beverages and dairy products.
The latest tariffs are expected to deepen the ongoing trade dispute, with businesses on both sides of the border closely monitoring the potential economic impact.
