In response to U.S. trade restrictions imposed by Donald Trump, Canada has implemented retaliatory tariffs on a wide range of American products, impacting billions of dollars worth of goods across various sectors. The Canadian government aims to pressure the U.S. to lift its trade barriers while safeguarding Canadian industries.
Canada has imposed retaliatory tariffs on a wide range of American goods in response to the U.S. trade restrictions announced by Donald Trump on Saturday. These measures affect billions of dollars in goods across multiple sectors, including agriculture, consumer products, industrial materials and machinery. The goal is to pressure the U.S. government to lift its trade barriers while also protecting Canadian industries. Historically, trade disputes between Canada and the U.S.
have led to significant supply chain disruptions and increased costs for businesses and consumers. For instance, the Canada-United States softwood lumber dispute—one of the most enduring trade conflicts, which involved repeated U.S. tariffs on Canadian lumber imports—has caused considerable economic strain on both sides of the border. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said at a news conference on Saturday that he would 'not back down in standing up for Canadians.' 'We don't want to be here,' Trudeau said. 'We didn't ask for this, but we will not back down.' The Canadian tariffs cover hundreds of U.S. products, including food and beverages, household items, construction materials, machinery and luxury goods. Below is a summary of the affected products, categorized by industry. Food and Agricultural Products Various dairy, meat, fruit and processed foods now face tariffs—including cheese, yogurt, butter, fresh and frozen chicken and pork cuts, apples, oranges, potatoes, peanut butter, ketchup, frozen meals, and baked goods. Consumer Goods and Household Items Everyday household goods, such as appliances and paper products, now face increased import costs—including refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, mattresses, wooden and metal furniture, paper towels, napkins, and tissues. Industrial and Construction Materials Key industrial materials used in manufacturing and infrastructure projects are on the tariff list—including steel and aluminum products, such as pipes, beams, and wiring; adhesives; lubricants; chemical coatings; and tools, such as drills, saws, grinders and air compressors. Motor Vehicles and Transportation Equipment Several types of motorcycles, combustion and electric, have been hit with tariffs. Similarly, drones and other unmanned aircraft, categorized by weight, have also received tariffs. Jewelry, Luxury Goods and Precious Metals High-end consumer goods—such as watches and silver, platinum and imitation jewelry—now face higher tariffs. Firearms and Ammunition A range of guns, ammunition and firearm accessories are on the tariff list. The guns include revolvers, pistols, hunting rifles and shotguns. Lighting, Furniture and Home Decor Indoor and outdoor lighting products on the tariff list include chandeliers; desk lamps; LED-based fixtures; nonelectric lighting, such as candlesticks; and household furniture pieces made of wood, metal and plastic. Electronics, Small Appliances and Tools A selection of electronic devices, personal appliances and hand tools are now tariffed—including video game consoles, cigarette lighters, coffee makers, toasters and fabric steamers. Industrial and Heavy Machinery Several categories of industrial and commercial machinery are now subject to tariffs—including washing and drying equipment, refrigerators and freezers, dishwashers, and power tools, such as drills and saws. Sporting Equipment The tariff list also includes sports footwear, such as hiking boots, golf shoes and riding boots. The tariffs are expected to increase costs for businesses and consumers, especially in industries that rely on American imports. Experts have warned that companies may struggle to adjust, with some absorbing higher costs and others passing them onto consumers
