Canada is set to impose significant tariffs on Chinese imports, aligning with similar measures by the United States and European Union. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced in Halifax, Nova Scotia, that the Canadian government will implement a 100% tariff on Chinese-made electric vehicles and a 25% tariff on Chinese steel and aluminum. This move aims to protect domestic manufacturers and address trade imbalances. The decision reflects growing Western efforts to counter China's economic influence, although it risks potential retaliation from China.
