New trade tensions have escalated as Canada prepares to impose additional duties on U.S. goods, marking a sharp response to recent disagreements over American tariffs. The move follows a breakdown in negotiations after the U.S. proposed levies on heavy-duty trucks, deepening economic friction between the two nations. With both sides now taking retaliatory steps, the dispute threatens to disrupt ongoing trade relations. Businesses and policymakers are closely watching how this escalation could reshape cross-border commerce.
The new duties come just weeks after a dispute over proposed U.S. tariffs on heavy-duty trucks sunk trade talks between the two countries.
