Canada targets steel, fish and hundreds of other goods as Trump trade war escalates
- Canada plans to impose countertariffs on over 700 U.S. goods starting September 8.
- The tariffs will range from 15% to 50%, mirroring U.S. tariffs imposed on Canadian products.
- This response follows the Trump administration's recent 50% tariffs on approximately $20 billion of Canadian goods.
- Affected U.S. products include fish, cheese, smartphones, and various metal products.
Canada has pledged to roll out "dollar-for-dollar" countertariffs on scores of U.S. goods next month in response to President Donald Trump’s latest import taxes, which have plunged the North American neighbors deeper into a bitter trade war.
Ottawa released a list of more than 700 targets, stating that it will impose steeper import taxes on goods ranging from fish and cheese to smartphones and steel imported from the United States.
The new tariffs will carry rates of 15%, 25%, or 50%, matching U.S. tariffs on goods targeted in Washington’s latest round as well as products covered by previously imposed sectoral duties.

加拿大承诺将在下个月对大量美国商品征收“等额”反制关税，以回应特朗普总统最新的进口税，这使得北美邻国之间的贸易战更加激烈。
加拿大政府发布了超过700种目标商品的清单，表示将对从美国进口的鱼类、奶酪、智能手机和钢铁等商品征收更高的进口税。
新的关税将设定为15%、25%或50%，与美国在最新一轮中针对的商品关税相匹配，并涵盖之前实施的部门性关税产品。
