New US Tariffs on Canadian Goods Take Effect
New US Tariffs on Canadian Goods Take Effect
The News
The latest US tariffs on a small number of Canadian goods took effect Tuesday as Washington presses on with its trade war with Canada, CTV News reports. Some goods were removed from the list.
It lands a week after Canada hit back. At 12:01 a.m. on Sept. 8, Ottawa matched President Trump's tariffs dollar for dollar with duties of 15% to 50% on more than 700 American-made products, according to RealClearPolitics.
Who Gets Hit
Sports organizations and companies on both sides of the border are asking Washington and Ottawa to suspend tariffs on sports gear, warning of higher economic strain and falling participation in healthy activities, CTV News reports.
Timeline
At 12:01 a.m., Canada matches Trump's tariffs dollar for dollar, imposing duties of 15% to 50% on more than 700 American-made products.
Sports groups and companies on both sides of the border publicly call for an end to tariffs on sports equipment, warning of economic damage and declining participation.
The latest US tariffs take effect on a small number of Canadian goods, with some items removed from the list, as Washington continues the trade fight.
Reactions
Sports organizations and companies are urging both governments to suspend sports-related tariffs, arguing the cost is landing on families and pushing people out of healthy activity, CTV News reports.
The Washington Examiner argues in an op-ed that the tariffs are pushing Canada to build economic ties with China and India — and that China has noticed, calling it a threat to Washington's long-term global dominance.
RealClearPolitics calls the fight "the U.S.-Canada trade war nobody asked for."
What's Next
Canada's counter-tariffs on more than 700 American products remain in force, and the US list keeps moving — Tuesday's round added goods while dropping others. Whether more items come off, or more go on, is the next thing to watch.
The sports industry's request to both capitals is still outstanding; neither government has agreed to a carve-out.
