Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on $20 billion worth of US goods took effect Tuesday, escalating an already bitter trade dispute with the Trump administration, according to CNN.
The measures include higher duties on American steel and aluminum, with rates rising to 50%. Canadian tariffs also target paper, construction materials, appliances and agricultural products.
Bombardier said it already maintains a substantial US manufacturing presence and supports tens of thousands of American jobs.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has vowed to respond to further US trade measures. CNN reported that Ottawa designed its latest tariffs to increase political pressure on Washington, while exempting American seafood to limit damage to states including Alaska and Maine.
Trade negotiations collapsed last month after disagreements over autos, tariffs and Canadian language and cultural protections. Both countries remain heavily dependent on cross-border trade, meaning the escalating dispute could hurt businesses on both sides.
