Photos: These are the U.S. products Canada has hit with counter-tariffs
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared on Saturday that Canada will retaliate after U.S. President Donald Trump announced 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods and 10 per cent tariffs on Canadian energy.
Canada's retaliatory measures include 25 per cent tariffs on $155 billion worth of American goods.
However since then Trudeau said "proposed tariffs" between Canada and the United States will be paused for at least 30 days while the countries work together on border security, after a phone call with Trump on Monday afternoon.
Tariffs on $30-billion worth of goods were expected to take effect on Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2024, the same day as Trump's tariffs. Duties on the remaining $125 billion were expected to take effect in 21 days, following a consultation period.
Trudeau is yet to announce the timeline on a pause for the counter-tariffs.
The Canadian federal government has released a full list of U.S. goods will be affected if the counter-tariffs go ahead as planned.
Experts say that Trump's tariffs will affect Canada's economy and increase cost of living for many Canadians.
"For Canadian households, this means an increase in prices of multiple consumer goods, including groceries, appliances and especially vehicles," Tu Nguyen, an economist at RSM Canada, said in a statement.
