Canada to impose retaliatory tariffs on nearly $20 billion of U.S. goods from September 8

🇨🇦 Canada announced tariffs on C$27.6 billion, or nearly $20 billion, of U.S. imports, with rates of 15%, 25%, and 50% covering roughly 700 products. The measures will take effect at 00:01 on September 8.

🏭 Higher tariffs will target steel, aluminum, furniture, clothing, household appliances, dairy products, seafood, and electronics. Ottawa also introduced a C$7.5 billion support package for affected businesses and workers.

📊 The move responds to the U.S. imposing 50% tariffs on about $20 billion of Canadian goods, increasing the risk of higher costs and supply-chain disruption across North America, particularly in steel, aluminum, and consumer goods.

👀 Markets will now focus on Washington’s response and whether negotiations resume before September 8, as further retaliation could broaden the trade dispute.
