Canada will introduce $29.8 billion in retaliatory tariffs in response to the U.S. decision to impose 25% duties on steel and aluminium imports. The move follows similar action by the EU, escalating trade tensions with Washington.
Canada is set to introduce retaliatory tariffs worth C$29.8 billion ($20.7 billion) in response to the 25% duties imposed by the United States on steel and aluminium imports, a senior Canadian government official confirmed on Wednesday.

The decision to introduce countermeasures underscores the growing trade tensions between the two nations, as well as wider global concerns over protectionist policies.
The Canadian government is expected to provide further details on the tariffs and their potential impact in the official announcement.
