The trade war between the United States and Canada has intensified with a new escalation. Ottawa began applying tariffs on American products, a gesture that marks a worsening of trade tensions between the two countries.
Canada imposed tariffs of up to 50% on approximately 700 products from the United States. The total value of the tariff measures reaches 20 billion dollars.
These measures represent retaliation by Canada against trade policies implemented by the United States. The application of tariffs affects a wide range of goods imported from the southern neighbor.
The escalation comes in a context of growing trade tension between the two nations, which share one of the longest borders in the world and deep bilateral economic relations.
