A tariff war has escalated between Canada and the United States, with President Donald Trump announcing new tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports on Saturday, prompting swift retaliation from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The U.S. will impose a 10% tariff on Canadian oil and gas and a 25% tariff on all other imports starting Tuesday. In response, Trudeau announced an initial 25% tariff on $30 billion worth of U.S. goods, expanding to $155 billion by the end of the month to give Canadian businesses and supply chains a 21-day window to adjust.
Trudeau has also urged Canadians to prioritize locally made products, encouraging them to support the national economy.
