  • Hello and welcome to World Business Report here on the BBC World Service.

  • I'm Rahul Tandon.

  • Thank you so much for joining us.

  • We're going to guide you through what's been another busy day when it comes to tariffs

  • and the Internet.

  • Well, it's got a memory problem.

  • When we looked at this in the context of social media,

  • we found that about 1 in 5 tweets are no longer available even a few months after they're posted.

  • But you know what we're going to start the program talking about once again, it's tariffs.

  • So what has happened on Wednesday?

  • Well,

  • Canada has announced reciprocal levies on more than $20 million worth of U.S. goods

  • after Washington imposed 25% tariffs on all steel

  • and aluminium imports.

  • Here's Canada's foreign Minister, Melanie Jolly.

  • Canada is not the one driving up the cost of your groceries

  • or of your gasoline or any of your construction.

  • Canada is not the one putting your jobs at risk.

  • Canada is not the one that is ultimately starting this war.

  • President Trump's tariffs against you are causing that.
