Canada says it will add new taxes on some goods from the United States. The plan is “dollar-for-dollar.” That means Canada will charge similar amounts to what the US charges. The new tariffs can be as high as 50%. They will cover many products. This includes steel, furniture, tuna, and even makeup. Canada says this is a response to the trade fight between the two countries. The US and Canada have been in a trade war for a while. Now both sides are adding more costs to imports. This could make some items more expensive for shoppers.
