Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland says Americans will be the first casualties of President Donald Trump's tariff on Canadian aluminum.
Freeland says Canada will strike back with 3.6 billion dollars in tariffs on a list of American products.
The government will spend the next 30 days consulting with industry stakeholders to determine which items to target.
When the US slapped a tariff on Canadian steel two years ago Canada retaliated with tariffs on American ketchup, ballpoint pens, orange juice, whisky and toilet paper.
President Donald Trump accuses Canada of breaking a promise not to flood the U.S. market with aluminum, an accusation Canada and its aluminum producers say is completely false.
