The United States and Canada have escalated a trade dispute, with both nations imposing significant tariffs on each other's goods. Negotiations in Washington failed, leading the U.S. to implement 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian products, while Canada announced retaliatory measures set to begin September 8th.
