Tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods imposed by the U.S. government are expected to take hold on Tuesday, marking the start of a North American trade war.
Trump’s tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods are set to take effect on Tuesday, marking the start of a North American trade war. The U.S. government delayed the tariffs by 30 days in February following discussions between President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as well as Canada’s承诺 to introduce new border security measures. Canada plans to impose immediate counter-tariffs on $30 billion worth of U.S. goods, with broader tariffs on $125 billion in American products to follow three weeks later. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has advocated for a diplomatic approach rather than retaliatory measures, while other provinces and the federal government have prepared to respond with tariffs.
