Ottawa is hitting back against the United States with hefty countertariffs on $27.6-billion worth of American products, including metals, seafood, clothing, home appliances and electronic devices.
On Tuesday morning, the federal government outlined how it plans to retaliate against the new 50-per-cent tariffs U.S. President Donald Trump placed on around $28-billion worth of Canadian goods over the weekend after trade talks collapsed late Friday.
Ottawa is targeting nearly 900 items, with most of the levies set at 25 per cent or 50 per cent, with a small number subject to a lower 15-per-cent tariff. The tariffs are scheduled to come into force on Sept. 8. #cdnpoli #tariffs #canada #unitedstates
