"It's not fair": Trump says new US tariffs coming on Canadian dairy, lumber

U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday he will soon bring in new tariffs on Canadian dairy and lumber that match the “tremendously high” duties he says Canada charges for shipping those products to the U.S.

The new tariffs could start as soon as Friday or early next week, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

“Canada has been ripping us off for years on tariffs for lumber and dairy products,” he said.

“They’ll be met with the exact same tariff unless they drop it. That’s what reciprocal means. And we may do it as early as today or we’ll wait until Monday or Tuesday. But that’s what we’re going to do, we’re going to charge the same thing. It’s not fair.”
