Tariff war: Canada also to apply retaliatory 25pc tariff on US

Washington: After US President Donald Trump announced additional tariffs on Canadian imports, Canada has now also announced additional tariffs on US imports in response.

According to a foreign news agency, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that a 25 percent trade tariff will be imposed on $155 billion of US goods. Our tariffs will remain until the US ends the tariff.

He stated that the US is talking about a trade war with Canada and positive relations with Russia, Canada will file this case with the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Justin Trudeau added in a message to the US President that we should work together for prosperity in North America. ‘We want to see the fight of friends as our enemies’.

On the other hand, discussions are ongoing between American and Canadian officials on reducing or eliminating the tariffs imposed by President Trump, and in this regard, an American newspaper reports that an agreement may be reached between the United States and Canada.
