Only Canada and China have chosen to impose counter levies in response to American tariffs.
Canada’s past chief negotiator for the new NAFTA says the country finds itself alone as one of the few globally to have used countermeasures against American tariffs.
Retaliatory tariffs on some American auto exports went into force on April 9. Canada has imposed a series of counter-tariffs to respond to U.S. levies on autos and steel and aluminum exports, as well as goods that aren’t compliant with the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), which U.S. President Donald Trump imposed under the guise of addressing fentanyl.
