Trudeau&#8217;s government has implemented equivalent tariffs\u2014also set at 25%\u2014on around $155 billion worth of U.S. goods, \u200caffirming that the retaliatory measures will remain until the U.S. tariffs \u200dare withdrawn.<\/p>\n<p>In response to this action, Trump indicated on social media that any <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">retaliatory tariffs imposed<\/a> by Canada\u200c would prompt a reciprocal increase in U.S. tariffs, possibly leading to a \u2064continuous\u2062 cycle of escalating tariffs.
