Well supportedReported by 31 independent outlets

Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on approximately $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, ranging from hockey sticks to honey, starting on August 27, 2026. In response, Canada began imposing retaliatory tariffs on US goods on September 19, 2026. These Canadian tariffs range from 15 to 50 per cent and apply to products including dairy, steel, copper, and some beauty products.
