The #tariffs hit hundreds of #US products, including steel, aluminum, cheese, appliances, clothing, cosmetics & farm equipment, at rates of 15%, 25% or 50%.

#Canada says its tariffs match #Trump’s dollar for dollar & rate for rate. They took effect at 12:01AM Tues under an executive action known as an order in council & cover ~$20 billion in US goods, ~6% of the $333.6 billion the US exported to Canada last year.
