The Canadian government has imposed retaliatory tariffs in response to the United States' additional tariffs, levying rates of up to 50% on more than 600 products worth approximately $20 billion in imports. Japanese companies are stepping up efforts to avoid the tariffs.
The Canadian government imposed retaliatory tariffs on the 8th in response to additional tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. The measures cover more than 600 types of U.S. imports worth approximately $20 billion (about ¥3.2 trillion).\n\nTariff rates will be 15%, 25% or 50%, depending on the product. Seafood and fishery products were initially included, but were removed from the scope after taking industry views into account.\n\nIn a video message, Canadian Prime Minister Carney said he did not want the conflict to escalate, but that Canada could not accept U.S. products duty-free while the United States imposed tariffs on exports by Canadian companies.
