Trump's Tariffs | Impact on Canada-US Trade


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive into the escalating trade tensions between Canada and the United States following President Donald Trump's 25% tariff on most Canadian goods. With deeply integrated supply chains and a reliance on bilateral trade, both economies face significant challenges.

We explore how these tariffs are driving up production costs, raising consumer prices, and impacting key sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, and energy. Canada’s response—$155 billion in retaliatory tariffs—adds another layer of complexity, affecting everything from household goods to major exports.
