On September 8, Canada is set to enact tariffs ranging from 15% to 50% on over 700 American goods in an effort to match US tariffs dollar for dollar, Canadian officials announced on Tuesday.
The duties the US recently imposed on Canadian goods “will have real consequences for Canadian workers, businesses, and communities across our nation,” Canadian Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said in a press conference on Tuesday. “Canada must respond, and today we are in a proportionate, targeted, and strategic way.”
