United States implements high tariffs on Canadian imports, plans wider global levies

The U.S. President has announced a 50% tariff on most Canadian goods, citing alleged discrimination against American products. This action follows previous tariff disputes between the two nations. Concurrently, the administration is preparing to introduce new tariffs targeting 60 other trading partners, as existing global levies are set to expire, with forced labor issues cited as a reason for these broader measures.
