Canada Slaps Retaliatory Tariffs on US Goods as Bitcoin Rally Falters
Canada has announced a retaliatory tariff package targeting U.S. goods worth about $20 billion, according to Dow Jones Top Markets Headlines at 3 PM ET. The new duties range from 15% to 50% on various products, including metals, fish, foods, and motorcycles.
The move is in response to the ongoing trade tensions between the two countries. Bitcoin's recent rally has stalled after reaching a three-month high above $80,000, with no new positive catalysts driving the market forward.
