Trudeau Announces $155B Counter-Tariff on US Goods After Trump’s Actions
In response to President Trump’s imposition of $155 billion in tariffs on Canadian goods, Prime Minister Trudeau announced retaliatory tariffs totaling the same amount. These counter-tariffs will be implemented in two phases, beginning with $30 billion in tariffs on Tuesday, followed by an additional $125 billion in 21 days. The targeted goods include a wide range of consumer products and materials, impacting everyday items such as alcohol, clothing, and household appliances. This action comes after failed attempts to communicate with President Trump, and Trudeau urged Canadians to support local businesses amidst the escalating trade conflict.
