OTTAWA, Feb 2, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Canada will hit back at US tariffs with 25 percent levies of its own on select American goods, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday.

"Canada will be responding to the US trade action with 25 percent tariffs against Can$155 billion ($106 million) worth of American goods," he said in a dramatic tone as he warned of a fracture in longstanding Canada-US ties.

The first round of tariffs would target Can$30 billion worth of US goods on Tuesday followed by further tariffs on Can$125 billion worth of products in three weeks.
