On Tuesday, August 25, the news review 'Le Monde qui bouge,' presented by Annalisa Cappellini, focused on the trade war between Canada and the United States. According to various sources, this trade war has significant repercussions on economic exchanges between the two countries.

In response to the trade tensions, Ottawa has decided to impose counter-tariffs on hundreds of products from the United States. This measure aims to support Canadian workers and businesses affected by U.S. sanctions and to protect the national economy.

Discussions in the press highlight the potential consequences of these actions on bilateral relations and international trade, as both nations continue to assess the impact of their respective trade policies.
