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.

Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc emphasized the importance of protecting Canada's industries, stating that these tariffs are a direct response to the U.S.'s "unjustified" actions. The Canadian government has also introduced measures to support affected workers and businesses, including financial aid and trade programs.

This development marks a significant escalation in trade tensions between the two nations, with both sides standing firm on their positions. The impact of these tariffs is expected to ripple through industries on both sides of the border, potentially affecting prices and supply chains.
