The decision by U.S. President Donald Trump to levy tariffs on Canadian imports has spurred Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and several premiers to implement measures intended to support Canadian companies and their employees.
Trump imposed 25 percent tariffs on most Canadian products and 10 percent on energy imports on March 4, but instituted a one-month pause on auto tariffs. Canada responded with retaliatory tariffs on $30 billion worth of American goods, and said it would add an additional $125 billion in tariffs in three weeks’ time if U.S. tariffs are still in place.
