Canada says it will match US tariffs 'dollar for dollar' as trade talks break down

The United States puts new taxes on goods from Canada. These taxes are called tariffs. The US adds a 50% tax on some Canadian products. This means Canadian goods are more expensive for Americans to buy. The amount of these goods is worth 20 billion dollars.

Before this, the US and Canada have important talks. They talk about trade. But the talks stop. They do not agree. So, the new tariffs start. Canada says it does not like this. Canada also says it will put new taxes on US goods. Canada will match the US tariffs. This means Canada adds the same amount of tax on US products. It is a "dollar for dollar" response.

This situation is a big problem for both countries. It makes trade harder. People hope the countries can talk again soon. They want to find a solution so trade can be good for everyone. This way, things can become easier between the two countries.
