China imposes tariffs on Canadian food products
China has announced new tariffs of up to 100 percent on Canadian canola, pork, and other food products, effective March 20. This move is a response to Canada’s tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, steel, and aluminum. The tariffs aim to discourage Canada and Mexico from aligning with U.S. trade policies that restrict Chinese goods. China’s State Council Tariff Commission stated that these measures are a direct reaction to Canada’s recent trade actions. China's Ministry of Commerce urged Canada to lift its tariffs, framing the new duties as a warning against further cooperation with the U.S. on trade issues. The Canadian government has not yet responded.
