Canada retaliates with up to 50% tariffs on US goods in dollar-for-dollar move

Canada announced dollar-for-dollar counter-tariffs on the US of up to 50% on about C$28 billion ($20 billion) of American goods, to take effect Sept. 8, in response to US levies on Canadian imports. The list targets items from steel and aluminum to furniture, clothing and appliances, aiming to mirror Canadian exposures; Ottawa will also provide roughly C$7.5 billion in aid to workers and firms affected. The move follows failed trade talks and underscores ongoing tensions that could complicate the broader USMCA relationship and supply chains.

Tariffs Trigger Collapse of US-Canada Trade Talks

Two weeks of US-Canada trade talks collapsed after the US moved forward with 50% tariffs on about $28 billion of Canadian goods, with Canada saying it would match the duties dollar-for-dollar.

Tariffs Paused as US-Canada Talks Edge Toward a Last-Minute Deal

President Trump says he’s paused the 50% tariffs on Canadian goods for three days as talks continue toward a last-minute deal, with a separate post from the USTR hinting at concessions like market access for US goods but offering few specifics. Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed progress. The tariffs were set to take effect soon under a 1930 Tariff Act provision, and officials say only a small share of Canadian exports would be affected, while the broader USMCA renegotiations and trade policy remain in flux.

Used Car Prices Hit New Highs as Market Shifts Lock In Expensive Inventory

Edmunds data show the average price of a 3-year-old used car in Q2 hit a record $32,461, driven by a persistent post-pandemic shortage, trim inflation, and a skew toward higher-trim models. As affordable options age and carry more miles across price bands, buyers face a tougher market even as new cars stay expensive. Cross-border trade rules and tariff talks under USMCA complicate supply, potentially pushing automakers toward automation and reshaping where cars are built.
