Canadians react to new US tariffs 01.09.2026

Canada is facing new 50% tariffs on approximately $20 billion worth of its exports to the United States, following the breakdown of trade talks between the two countries on August 22. The targeted Canadian products include cosmetics, clothing, alcohol, and even original artwork, representing a significant escalation in trade disputes. In a swift response, Canada has announced retaliatory tariffs on more than 700 American products, ranging from dairy and seafood to appliances, wood and paper products, and clothing. These counter-tariffs, set between 15% and 50%, are designed to match the scale of the US tariffs and will take effect on September 8. The move underscores growing friction in US-Canada trade relations, with both sides imposing substantial duties on key sectors. Canadian officials have framed the retaliation as a necessary measure to protect domestic industries and workers from what they view as unfair trade practices. The US tariffs are expected to impact Canadian exporters heavily, particularly in the cosmetics and alcohol industries, while Canadian counter-tariffs target American agricultural and manufacturing sectors. The breakdown of talks highlights ongoing challenges in North American trade, with potential ripple effects for consumers and businesses on both sides of the border. CGTN's Nina Devries reports from Canada, emphasizing the immediate economic stakes and the broader implications for bilateral relations.
