The US is imposing new 50% tariffs on around $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, including wine, dairy, cement, clothing and hockey equipment. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has vowed "dollar-for-dollar" retaliation starting September 8.
Donald Trump, Mark Carney, US tariffs, Canada retaliation and the future of the USMCA are now at the centre of this escalating trade dispute.
