Canada’s list of retaliatory tariffs target meat, live animals, produce and more
Canada announced plans to impose tariffs on a list of U.S. products in retaliation for the COOL (country-of-origin labeling) requirement for meat products. Those products would include U.S. beef, pork, live hogs and cattle, cherries, corn, apples, office furniture, mattresses and more.
Canada will ask the World Trade Organization to approve its retaliatory measures in a process that will take 18 to 24 months, Canadian Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and International Trade Minister Ed Fast said on Friday, reports Reuters.
