The United States has already imposed 50% tariffs on roughly $20 billion worth of Canadian imports, including wine, cement, hockey sticks, dairy products, electronics, furniture, and fishing rods. Canada has retaliated with tariffs ranging from 15% to 50% on approximately $20 billion of US products, including steel and aluminum, set to take effect on September 8, 2026.

Negotiations between the two nations have collapsed, and the US-Canada trade relationship exceeds $900 billion annually.
