OTTAWA (Reuters) -- Canada will impose 25% tariffs on 155 billion Canadian dollars ($107 billion) worth of U.S. goods from Tuesday if U.S. President Donald Trump's administration follows through with its proposed tariffs on Canadian goods, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Monday.

Canada will slap 25% tariffs on CA$30 billion worth of U.S. goods from Tuesday, while tariffs on the remaining CA$125 billion worth of products will come into effect in 21 days, Trudeau said in a statement.
