Canada is hitting back at the U.S. with new tariffs on $20 billion worth of American goods, including steel, dairy, and appliances, after President Trump imposed steep new duties on Canadian products. The Canadian government says its response is fair and targeted, meant to protect workers and match the U.S. tariffs dollar for dollar, while leaders on both sides trade sharp words. The article frames Canada’s actions as justified and proportional, painting the U.S. as the aggressor in a spiraling trade fight.
