Canada has announced retaliatory tariffs against the United States as relations sharply deteriorate, after President Donald Trump mused about renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America” and insulted Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney by calling him “Governor Carney.” More than 700 U.S.-made products are on Canada’s tariffs list, hitting everyday purchases such as seafood, cheese, clothing, cosmetics and toilet paper with duties as high as 50%.
