# Canada has filed a complaint with the World Trade Organisation against the United States over president Donald Trump’s dramatic tariff increases. A WTO official confirmed to AFP that Canada initiated dispute proceedings yesterday against the US on the additional tariffs, following a similar complaint filed by Beijing over fresh US levies on Chinese goods. Shortly after Trump returned to office he announced, and then paused, blanket 25-percent tariffs on imports from major trading partners Canada and Mexico, accusing them of failing to stop illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
