OTTAWA — Canada announced plans to impose retaliatory tariffs next month, hours after the United States implemented new duties on Canadian products. Prime Minister Mark Carney stated Canada will match the U.S. tariffs "dollar for dollar" starting September 8. The U.S. tariffs currently apply to $20 billion worth of Canadian goods.
