US imposes 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian products, and Canada says it will retaliate

The U.S. slapped 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian goods (everything from hockey sticks to tongue depressors) after last‑minute talks collapsed.
Canada immediately vowed dollar‑for‑dollar retaliation and suspended negotiations, putting the US‑Canada trade relationship and the USMCA talks at risk.
The dispute strains a decades‑long, closely integrated border relationship and could raise costs for consumers and fuel political fallout on both sides.
