Canada is preparing retaliatory measures against the United States that could affect American businesses, workers and household budgets as President Donald Trump’s trade fight with Ottawa intensifies.
According to CNN, Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to impose matching tariffs on U.S. goods, potentially targeting steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, paper and electronics. Canada is also considering duties on autos, lumber, aluminum and copper.
Such restrictions could increase costs for American companies and consumers by making energy and other essential inputs more expensive. CNN noted that electricity prices and household energy costs are already elevated.
The escalating dispute could therefore hurt U.S. exporters while adding fresh inflationary pressure, particularly if Canada targets critical supplies.
