United KingdomCanada has implemented retaliatory tariffs on approximately C$28 billion worth of U.S. goods, including steel, furniture, and clothing, in response to U.S. tariffs imposed earlier this year. These counter-tariffs, which can reach up to 50%, were introduced despite ongoing efforts by both nations to negotiate a trade deal. The U.S. had previously imposed a 25% tax on Canadian vehicles and additional tariffs on dairy, alcohol, and other products. While initial plans included restrictions on seafood exports, these were removed due to pressure from Canada’s fishing industry. Both Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer expressed willingness to negotiate, though discussions have stalled since late August. Polls indicate strong public support among Canadians for the retaliatory measures.
