Trump announces 35% tariffs on Canadian imports.
The rate is set to go into effect Aug. 1 and exceeds the 25% tariffs imposed on Canadian goods in February. President Donald Trump cited Canada’s retaliatory tariffs and failure to control fentanyl smuggling to the US as the reason for the increase, though federal data shows relatively little of the drug enters via the northern border. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada would continue trade negotiations while defending its national interest.
(Anyone still think this is random and there is no rationale? Disagree with the approach, fine, but can we stop the silliness of saying it’s random or he’s caving?)
