Canada imposes 25% tariff on US apparel, other items amid trade war

Part of a $155 billion retaliatory tariff package, the move targets $30 billion in US imports, including clothing, footwear, appliances, motorcycles, and beverages. An additional $125 billion in tariffs on other US goods—including vehicles, steel, and agricultural products—will undergo public consultation before implementation.

Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly stated that Canada “will not stand idly by” as its economy and workers face unfair penalties. The government also warned that US tariffs would harm American industries by raising consumer costs and disrupting supply chains.

In addition, Canada is establishing a remission process to mitigate the impact on its businesses and workers while exploring further countermeasures if the US trade actions persist.
