Summary
Canada has launched dollar-for-dollar tariffs on U.S. goods, escalating trade tensions with Washington as both sides dig in. New duties of 15–50% target $27.6 billion in imports, hitting Canadian businesses and consumers alike. President Trump retaliates by threatening Bombardier, while Ottawa defends the move as necessary to shield domestic industries — though it may raise prices for shoppers. A $7.5 billion support package is now in place to cushion workers and firms, but critics say it’s a stopgap. The targeted selection of U.S. products hints at political strategy, aiming to pressure American lawmakers. With no sign of renewed talks and mutual blame over broken negotiations, the rhetoric continues to simmer — and the economic fallout keeps mounting.
