Canada is not backing down from the trade fight started by Donald Trump.
The US’s northern neighbor and close ally on Friday imposed tariffs on $12.6 billion worth of US products. The move, which the Canadian government had announced in May, is in response to Trump’s controversial steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and the European Union. The Canadian taxes, whose value matches the US tariffs dollar-for-dollar, kick in on July 1.
The list of targeted products includes steel and aluminum, as well as an assortment of other goods such as strawberry jam, printed or illustrated postcards, sleeping bags, and ballpoint pens. The selection is likely not random; both Mexico and the EU carefully crafted their retaliatory tariffs to inflict the most pain on the US, while not hurting their own consumers.
Here is Canada’s list.
