Canada Imposes Robust Tariffs in Response to Unjustified U.S. Trade Actions

On March 18, 2025, Canada announced a strong tariff package in response to what it considers unjustified U.S. tariffs. The measures aim to protect Canadian industries and workers from unfair trade practices, targeting specific U.S. goods to ensure a balanced and proportional response. The Canadian government expressed disappointment over the U.S. actions, which it believes harm the longstanding trade relationship between the two nations. While Canada remains committed to resolving disputes through dialogue and cooperation, it emphasized the need to defend its economic interests and uphold fair trade principles. The tariff package reflects Canada’s determination to safeguard its industries and maintain a rules-based international trading system.
