Washington enacts 50% tariff on Canadian goods
Washington has imposed an additional 50% customs duty on certain Canadian products, including cheese, animal furs, motorboats, paper products, and steel, amid deteriorating trade relations between the two countries. In return, goods such as toilet paper, cement, and whiskey bottles over four liters in size were exempted from previous tariffs. These measures come after Canada imposed duties on American products in response to U.S. actions. Additionally, Washington plans to ban the import of some Canadian products starting September 29, including alcoholic beverages, dairy products, and large-engine motorcycles, in an attempt to pressure Canada to end the trade escalation.
