Canada will impose reciprocal tariffs on US imports worth 29.8 bn CAD (€19bn) Canada’s new tariffs would be on steel and aluminium products, as well as U.S. Goods including computers, sports equipment and water heaters worth $14.2bn Canadian (€9bn), according to Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc. Rodrigo Duterte arrived at the Hague on Wednesday after being arrested on the order of the International Criminal Court. Police arrested him at Manila’s airport as he returned from a trip to Hong Kong, where he was put on a plane to Dubai. Both protesters and supporters of the former Philippine president gathered in front of the ICC. ICC opened an inquiry into mass killings linked to the so-called war on drugs overseen by Duterte when he served as mayor of Davao and later as president of the Philippines. Estimates of the death toll during Duterste’s presidential term vary, from the more than 6,000 that the national police have reported to the up to 30,000 claimed by human rights groups. Philippines is no longer a member of the ICC, but the alleged crimes happened before Manila withdrew from the court. That process will likely take months, and if the case progresses to trial, it could take years.
