Today at 00:00 Eastern Canada Time, that is, at 12:00 Beijing time today, the Canadian government's measures to impose countervailing tariffs on US goods officially came into effect. The Canadian side said that the total amount of US goods affected by the anti-tariffs this time is comparable to the value of the goods involved in the 50% tariff imposed by the US side on Canada, achieving “equal and equal” countermeasures. According to expert analysis, Canada “is showing that it can compete with the US in trade negotiations.” Canada's strategy is to increase pressure within the US and eventually force the US side to return to negotiations, but there will be no major change in US trade protectionism. Wan Zhe, a professor at Beijing Normal University and an economics expert, said that the scale of Canada's current anti-tariff measures is completely equal to that of the US side, covering steel and aluminum, dairy products, agriculture, home appliances, electronic products, consumer goods, etc. The core strategy is to accurately transfer the cost of tariffs to sensitive areas of US politics in an attempt to pass the pressure of the midterm elections and force the US side to compromise. The other card is the resource bottom card, which is Canada's most deterrent ballast chip. Including crude oil, natural gas, potash, etc. Of course, it also has another brand that is tied to the industrial chain. For example, the manufacturing industry in the US and Canada, especially the automobile industry, is highly integrated, and the cross-border production collaboration is very close. The imposition of tariffs on Canada essentially also raises taxes on the mainland of the United States, which may affect the costs of US car companies, as well as employment in major automobile states, etc.
