New trade tensions have escalated as Canada announces expanded enforcement measures targeting U.S. goods entering its market, marking a sharp response to recent trade disputes. The move follows a breakdown in negotiations after the U.S. proposed tariffs on heavy-duty trucks, deepening economic friction between the two nations. With trade talks already strained, the latest actions could further complicate efforts to resolve lingering disagreements. Businesses and policymakers are closely watching how these developments will shape cross-border commerce in the coming months.


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.
