Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on roughly $20 billion in U.S. goods take effect Tuesday, turning its escalating trade war with President Donald Trump into a test watched well beyond North America: Can a country much smaller than the United States stand up to Trump and succeed?
Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on billions of dollars’ worth of US products took effect Tuesday as the trade war between the two North American neighbours intensifies.
