US tariffs on $34 billion worth of Chinese goods are due to go into effect on Friday, and Beijing is expected to retaliate in equal measure the same day.
Meanwhile, Canada imposed tariffs on US exports worth 16.6 billion Canadian dollars ($12.5 billion) on Sunday, the latest trading partner to hit back against the Trump administration's steel and aluminum tariffs.
For investors, the big fear is further escalation. Trump has threatened more tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of additional Chinese goods, and floated the idea of tariffs on European cars.
The European Commission sent written comments to the US Commerce Department on Friday warning that as much as $294 billion worth of US goods could be affected by countermeasures if the Trump administration goes ahead with tariffs on imported cars and car parts.
"The EU is not inclined to give in to bullying by US President Donald Trump," said Holger Schmieding, chief economist at Berenberg.

TC Pipelines is, after all, effectively a funding source for TransCanada.
