Trump Imposes Fresh Tariffs on Canada: A New Front in the Trade Wars The US has imposed an additional 50 percent tariffs on certain Canadian goods, a move that has significant implications for both countries' economies.
The tariff hike, announced by the White House on Wednesday, caps months of tensions between Washington and Ottawa over trade policy. The escalation of the dispute is closely tied to ongoing US China trade tensions.
For most of 2019, the world's two largest economies have been locked in a bitter dispute over tariffs, with each side accusing the other of unfair trade practices.
