Canada retaliates against US with tariffs of up to 50% as trade war escalates

Why it matters: With trucks carrying more than half the value of U.S.-Canada freight, escalating tariffs threaten to disrupt cross-border volumes, manufacturing supply chains and carrier demand along major gateways such as Detroit, Port Huron and Buffalo. Canada announced retaliatory tariffs of up to 50% on billions of dollars of U.S. goods Tuesday, escalating a trade dispute between the two countries after negotiations collapsed over the weekend. Canadian Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said Ottawa will impose “dollar-for-dollar” counter-tariffs on about $27.6 billion worth of U.
