Canada announced it will impose 25% retaliatory tariffs on C$155 billion worth of American goods, with the first round targeting C$30 billion starting Tuesday.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's decision is a direct response to US President Donald Trump's new 25% tariffs on Canadian, Mexican, and Chinese exports.
Trump invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, citing a 'national emergency' due to illegal immigration and drugs as the basis for his tariffs, which also begin Tuesday.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
