Canada has imposed tariffs of 15% to 50% on hundreds of products from the US on Tuesday, as Prime Minister Mark Carney bets that standing up to President Donald Trump will eventually help Ottawa's negotiating position with its biggest trading partner. Carney's government increased the import tax on many US steel items to 50% from 25%, and applied tariffs to a range of consumer goods including motorcycles, cosmetics and cheese. The measure will hit US exporters particularly hard in states such as Michigan and Ohio that do a lot business with Canada and host heated races in November's midterm elections.
