Canada retaliates, bans orange juice from Trump's home country

Canada has imposed tariffs on a range of products imported from the United States amid a boycott of products from its neighbor, after Mr Trump announced tariffs on many products imported from Canada.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has just announced that his country will retaliate against US President Donald Trump's new tariffs with a 25% tax on a series of imported products from the US, including orange juice from Florida where Mr. Trump has his Mar-a-Lago resort.

Prime Minister Trudeau said he was imposing tariffs on $155 billion worth of US goods, with tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods taking effect on February 4 and the remaining goods within 21 days.

Previously, Mr. Trump announced a 25% tariff on goods imported from Canada and a 10% tariff on goods imported from China. The White House owner also announced a 10% tariff on energy imported from Canada.

In retaliation, the Canadian leader said he would impose tariffs on American beer, wine and bourbon, as well as fruit and fruit juice, including orange juice from Mr Trump’s home state of Florida. Canada will also target items including clothing, sports equipment and household goods.

Many Canadians have also canceled trips to the southern border, boycotted wine and other American products and even booed at sporting events, Reuters reported on February 3.

Mr. Trudeau encouraged Canadians to buy local and vacation in Canada, a view shared by many local officials.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has ordered the removal of U.S.-made wine from the shelves of the provincially-run Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO), the sole liquor wholesaler in Canada's most populous province.

"The LCBO sells nearly $1 billion worth of American wine, beer, spirits and sparkling water each year. Not anymore," Ford wrote on social network X.
