President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on goods imported from Canada, a sharp escalation in trade tensions between the two countries.
The move marks one of the steepest tariff actions taken against Canada in recent memory and is expected to affect a wide range of Canadian exports to the United States. Canadian officials have not yet detailed a formal response to the tariff announcement.
The tariffs add to a series of trade disputes between Washington and Ottawa that have strained the historically close economic relationship between the two North American neighbors. Businesses on both sides of the border are likely to face higher costs as a result of the new duties.
Further details on which categories of goods are covered by the tariff, and when it will take effect, were not immediately available.
The scale of the new tariff is likely to prompt Canadian officials to weigh retaliatory measures of their own, a step that would mark a further escalation in the dispute between the two governments.
