Canada plans retaliatory tariffs on U.S. steel, electronics, and other products beginning September 8.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada’s measures against the United States would take effect on September 8. Reports identified steel, electronics, dairy, and other sectors, although the complete product list and tariff schedule had not yet been released.

Carney said the government would disclose details of the new tariff measures in the coming days. He also said Canada would offer tariff safeguards where relevant for certain industries and was not prepared to harm key industries.

Earlier reports described Canada’s response as matching the new U.S. tariffs “dollar for dollar.” The supplied messages also separately referred to new U.S. tariffs of 50%, but they did not provide enough information to establish how that figure relates to every product covered by Canada’s planned response.
