The federal government has released a list of American made goods that it will be tariffing starting Tuesday.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced late Saturday the federal government will hit back against the U.S. after President Donald Trump launched a trade war this weekend with punitive tariffs on all Canadian goods.
Trump followed through on a months-long threat and is slapping a 25 per cent tariff on virtually all Canadian goods and a 10 per cent tariff on Canadian energy.
In retaliation, Canada will slap 25 per cent tariffs on $30 billion worth of American goods coming into Canada as of Tuesday. The tariffs will then be applied to another $125 billion worth of American imports in three weeks’ time following a consultation period.
