Canada Strikes Back with Tariffs on $20 Billion in US Goods
Canada has imposed tariffs on around $20 billion worth of US goods in response to the latest round of tariffs from President Donald Trump. This move is seen as a test case for other governments to see if they can withstand Trump's economic pressure.
The tariffs are part of a broader trade dispute between the two countries, with the US imposing tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum last year. Canada has now retaliated by imposing tariffs on a range of US goods, including whiskey, chocolate, and coffee.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is visiting Latin American countries to strengthen ties and combat drug trafficking and illegal migration. Rubio has also been promoting the benefits of the recent oil deal with Venezuela, which could generate billions for the country's economy.
