Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­

WASHINGTON — The latest U.S. tariffs on a small number of Canadian goods went into effect Tuesday as Washington presses on in its trade war with Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­.

The White House said last week it would impose 50 per cent tariffs on goods representing about 0.6 per cent of U.S. imports from Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­, such as outboard motorboats and metal and paper products.

American officials also said 50 per cent tariffs on goods representing about 0.5 per cent of U.S. imports from Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­, such as cement, sugar, toilet paper and fishing rods, would be removed.

The latest tariffs come amid an ever-evolving trade war between the two countries after Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ walked away from formal negotiations last month. Prime Minister Mark Carney has said the Americans made last-minute demands that would undermine Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­â€™s sovereignty.

U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on nearly $28 billion in Canadian goods in August, while Ottawa followed suit with retaliatory tariffs on American products.

Trump has also ordered bans of imports of Canadian-made liquor and a handful of dairy products that will go into place Sept. 29.
