Most Americans Positive About Canada, in Spite of What Trump Says

The survey found 79% of Americans view Canada favorably and 59% oppose tariffs on Canada, despite White House rhetoric.

  • A new Angus Reid Institute survey released Monday shows 79% of Americans hold an "overwhelming positive" view of Canada, with 59% opposing the administration's new tariff levies.
  • President Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on Canadian goods last month, calling the nation "nasty" five times during a Las Vegas speech this month amid escalating trade tensions.
  • Partisan splits persist, with over 70% of MAGA Republicans supporting the duties and 89% of Democrats firmly opposing the administration's trade approach, according to survey data.
  • Angus Reid attributes the disparity in engagement to an "attention gap," noting that while 54% of Canadians follow tariff threats closely, only 23% of Americans do so.
  • With a critical August 19 deadline approaching, Canadian officials are racing to secure a trade deal as the Canadian American Business Council educates citizens on economic integration through interactive games.
