US-Canada trade war escalates

US-Canada trade war escalates

The Trump administration is preparing additional trade penalties against Canada after Prime Minister Mark Carney announced dollar-for-dollar retaliation to new US tariffs.

The escalating trade war has seen both sides impose steep tariffs, though signals suggest both could pull back.

Trump's suggestion to rename Lake Ontario 'Lake America' has further inflamed tensions.

The dispute has raised concerns about the economic impact on both countries.
