Canada is hitting back after President Donald Trump imposed 25 percent tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded with its own 25 percent tariffs on $155 billion worth of U.S. products. The Canadian tariffs will roll out in phases, starting Tuesday, with $30 billion in duties on items like alcohol, produce, and household goods, followed by more tariffs in three weeks. Mexico has also announced retaliatory measures but hasn’t shared details yet. Meanwhile, the U.S. justifies its tariffs as a crackdown on illegal border activity. More details on affected products and additional trade actions are expected soon.
