U.S. imposes 50% tariffs on Canadian goods over retaliation claim

The United States has imposed a 50% tariff on a wide range of Canadian goods, citing discrimination against American autos and retaliation for Canadian duties. President Donald Trump announced the measure in response to what his administration calls unfair trade practices by Canada. The tariffs risk escalating tensions and potentially igniting a fresh trade war between the two countries. The move targets various Canadian products and is framed as a countermeasure to Canada's retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods.
