Canada has announced retaliatory tariffs on US products after trade talks between the two countries failed to make progress.
The move marks another escalation in the growing trade dispute between Washington and Ottawa.
Canada called the US trade terms unfair and unacceptable. The Canadian government said it would respond with tariffs on American products.

Trade Tensions Continue to Rise
The United States and Canada have maintained close economic ties for decades. Their businesses depend heavily on cross-border trade.
However, recent tariff decisions have put those ties under growing pressure.
Canada’s retaliatory move could lead to further measures from Washington. This raises the risk of a wider trade dispute between the two North American economies.
Businesses Face Growing Uncertainty
The escalating tariffs could increase costs for companies that import goods from across the border.
Businesses may also face supply chain disruptions if the trade dispute continues.
Both governments now face pressure to resolve their differences and prevent the dispute from causing wider economic damage.
For now, the latest tariff measures have added another layer of uncertainty to US-Canada trade relations.
