President Donald Trump announced that companies manufacturing within the United States will face zero tariffs. However, the U.S. administration is significantly increasing duties on Canadian imports, stating that tariffs on Canadian cars, trucks, auto parts, and steel will rise to 50% starting in 2027.

In response, Canada has confirmed plans to impose retaliatory counter-tariffs of 15%, 25%, and 50% on U.S. goods, effective September 8. The retaliatory measures target roughly $27.6 billion worth of American products, including steel, dairy, electronics, and household appliances.
