- US imposes 50% tariff on Canadian toilet paper, paper products, and dairy; Canada retaliates with 25-50% tariffs on nearly 900 US goods — After trade negotiations between the US and Canada broke down on 25 August 2026, the Trump administration imposed a 50% tariff on Canadian toilet paper, tissues, and dairy products (except cheese), citing retaliation for Canadian provincial alcohol bans and alleged unfair treatment of US dairy. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced reciprocal tariffs of 25-50% on nearly 900 American goods effective 8 September 2026, including paper products, liquor, fish, seafood, and autos. The US imported $328 million in toilet paper from Canada in 2024; retailers including Costco source heavily from Canada.
