The United States is enacting new trade restrictions on Canada, further intensifying an ongoing commercial dispute. President Donald Trump has authorized tariffs on certain Canadian goods, including mattresses, motorboats, and golf carts, set to take effect on September 15th. The White House announced these measures early Wednesday, detailing a 50 percent additional duty on the specified products. This action represents a new escalation in tensions between the USA and Canada regarding trade practices. Reuters and AFP report that the move aims to pressure Canada on unspecified trade issues. The implementation of these tariffs is expected to impact businesses and consumers in both countries. This decision follows previous trade disagreements, signaling a continued hardline stance from the Trump administration.
