Canada has announced retaliatory tariffs on imports from the United States, ranging from 15% to 50%, according to infohub.kz.
The Canadian Finance Ministry said the new tariffs will affect steel, electronics, dairy products, agricultural equipment, household appliances, and the pulp and paper industry. The total value of goods subject to the restrictions is estimated at US$20 billion.
In a government statement, it said: "Starting September 8, 2026, Canada will impose tariffs of 15%, 25%, and 50% on goods... Canada's retaliatory tariffs will apply to products covering C$27.6 billion (US$19.9 billion) of imports from the United States, and will focus on sectors such as steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics, which have been hardest hit by U.S. tariffs."
Additionally, Canadian authorities separately announced US$5.4 billion in support for local businesses and workers expected to be affected by the tariffs.
Earlier, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that Ottawa would impose retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. on a "dollar-for-dollar" basis. In response, U.S. President Donald Trump called Canada's policy a failure and described the country's leadership, including Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford, as incompetent.
