Canada is slapping tariffs on $12.8 billion of US goods -- here are the states to lose the most

Ohio would be the hardest hit. The state sent $1.75 billion worth of goods to Canada in 2017 that could fall under the tariffs.

Michigan would be close behind, with $1.17 billion in goods that could be subject to tariffs.

They are followed by New York ($1.17 billion), Pennsylvania ($1.14 billion), and Illinois ($1.02 billion).

But Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan can all cheer how great they are again when Canada starts ordering their stuff elsewhere.

the Canadien border.
Canada is a wonderful country. Canadiens are very nice, friendly people.
I am sick that the US would single out this country.
My rep, Elise Stefanik is doing nothing as usual, except mouthing platitudes. She is useless.

Trump is a disaster. When will republicans wake up?

Very beautiful country, went up to Quebec, around the Gasbay, New Brunswick, and PEI. Breath taking scenery, down to earth people and our neighbors. Make America Great Again by screwing our neighbors, thats just wrong.

if you consider the population of the state. These numbers need to be normalized by population or total exports of the state, or both.

After totaling the value of Canada's list of US goods subject to tariffs using import data, Business Insider found that the value of these exports is equal to roughly just over $15 billion US dollars, or 19 billion Canadian dollars.

While the tariffs being higher than expected could certainly have ramifications for US businesses, experts say they would be permitted under international law.
