The first cycle of American prices and Canada’s counter-tale-trials are now in force, marking the start of a trade war between the longtime allies in North America.
On Tuesday, a price of 25% was imposed on all goods in the United States from Canada and Mexico, with a 10% tariff on Canada’s energy exports.
In response, Canada retaliated with an initial price of 25% out of $ 30 billion in American goods, with additional prices of an additional $ 125 billion of American products to come three weeks later, said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“Canada will not let this unjustified decision remain unanswered,” Trudeau said in a statement on Monday evening, a few hours before the United States deadline.
“Our prices will remain in place until the American commercial action is withdrawn and if the American rates will not stop, we are in active and in progress discussions with the provinces and the territories to continue several non-pricing measures,” he added.
“While we urge the US administration to reconsider their prices, Canada remains firm to defend our economy, our jobs, our workers and for a fair agreement.”

President Donald Trump had signed a decree on February 1 to perceive tasks on the neighbors of the United States due to the flow of illegal migrants and fentanyl.

The general prices were suspended for 30 days after new border security commitments were made by Canada, but Trump pulled the trigger on Tuesday.
In response to Trump’s original vow of 25% of Canadian products prices, Canada has published its own list of expected counter-tale.
Meanwhile, Canada clashes for two other tariff cycles threatened by the Trump administration, including 25% additional tasks on all steel and aluminum imports from the United States, including Canada, which was to come into force on March 12.
On April 2, Trump also plans to impose global reciprocal rates on all American business partners, including Canada.
