Canada's Tariffs on American Products
Canada implemented tariffs on American products in response to planned higher tariffs by President Trump. Some of the targeted imports are bizarre and obscure, including flamethrowers, false beards, and manatee meat. Critics suspect the list has been padded with nonsense to appear tougher. Canada is also using other strategies like purchasing billboards in Republican-voting states to fight the trade war.
