Canada Strikes Back with $29.8 Billion in Tariffs on U.S. Goods

 

In a bold move to counter U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, Canada has announced retaliatory tariffs worth $29.8 billion. The new measures, set to take effect on March 13, 2025, will impose a 25% tariff on a range of U.S. imports, including steel, aluminum, computers, sports equipment, and cast-iron products.
