Canada is going to impose 25 per cent tariff on US-produced alcohol, household appliances, tools, firearms, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, clothing, and more. Canada's Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc on Sunday released a full list of products that will be covered by the country's retaliatory tariffs on US goods.
Canada's tariff on US comes a day after President Donald Trump imposed a 25 per cent tariff on Canada and Mexico, along with an additional 10 per cent levy on goods from China.
Canada tariff on US
In retaliation, Canada's prime minister Justin Trudeau, on Saturday night, announced in a news conference that the country would retaliate against US tariffs by placing 25 per cent tariffs “against USD 155 billion worth of American goods.” He further encouraged Canadians to buy more Canadian goods and says Trump's moves will only cause pain across North America.
Notably, Canada is the largest export market for 36 states and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US.
