Canada Eyes Retaliatory Tariffs Amid Threats from Trump

Canada is considering imposing retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products, including Florida's orange juice, if President-elect Trump implements a 25% tariff on Canadian imports. Other items like ceramics and plastic goods are also under consideration. The final list is not confirmed, and discussions with U.S. officials continue.

In a move that could escalate trade tensions, Canada is weighing retaliatory tariffs on a range of U.S. products, should President-elect Donald Trump enforce a proposed 25% tariff on Canadian imports.

According to local reports, this list could include orange juice, a key product from Trump's home state, Florida, as well as ceramics and plastic goods. The decision remains tentative as Canadian officials engage with potential members of the Trump administration to clarify their stance.

Though Trump's tariff threats came after calls to curb migrant and drug flows from Canada and Mexico, it is yet unclear whether he will act on these threats, leaving Canada's response in a holding pattern.
