Canada implements retaliatory tariffs against US after trade talks collapse

Canada has enacted retaliatory tariffs against the United States on September 8 following the collapse of trade negotiations. Prime Minister Mark Carney warned that the trade war 'will come at a cost' as Canada strikes back against the US decision to impose 50% tariffs on Canadian automotive products starting in 2027.

Not moving quickly right now, but still current and open to further updates.
