Canadian tariffs on U.S. milk, perfume, golf clubs and other goods take effect as trade war grinds on

Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on $20 billion in U.S. goods took effect just after midnight ET Tuesday, escalating a trade dispute between the two allies. The measures, announced two weeks earlier after talks broke down, follow the Trump administration’s threat of 50% duties on the same value of Canadian-linked products. Canada says it will match the U.S. “dollar for dollar,” with tariff rates ranging from 15% to 50%. U.S. milk and perfume, along with video game consoles and golf clubs, face 50%, while items such as cheese and some appliances face 25% and forklifts 15%. Canada removed initial seafood tariffs after lobster-industry pushback.
