Donald Trump imposes 35% tariff on Canadian imports to US, effective August
Former US President Donald Trump has declared a new 35% tariff on Canadian products coming into the United States starting August 1st. The announcement is part of their extensive economic strategy focusing on the defense of US industries and jobs. Trump argues that the tariff will fight what he says to inappropriate Canada's trade practice, which aims to promote domestic production and reduce the dependence on imports. Politics can significantly affect the US-canada trading conditions, and possibly increase the cost of US companies that depend on Canadian goods. Economists have warned that high tariff rates can lead to a price increase for consumers and promote a trade conflict between the two countries. Trump's last step is in line with his "America First" agenda, which emphasizes hard trade measures to revive local industries. Canadian authorities are expected to respond strongly, possibly with ventative measures. Corporate leaders from both sides are closely monitoring, as industries such as agriculture, wood and motor vehicles may have to have an immediate effect.
