Cabinet to meet Tuesday as Trump says 35% tariff letter is ‘the deal’
CANADA, JUL 14 – Prime Minister Mark Carney convenes his cabinet to address U.S. President Trump's tariff threat demanding Canadian firms relocate production, with talks intensifying before the August 1 deadline.
- On July 16, 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney is scheduled to convene with his cabinet for the first time following U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a 35% tariff on Canadian products effective August 1.
- The tariff threat arises from President Trump’s insistence that Canadian firms move their manufacturing to the United States or else incur heavy tariffs, despite Carney and Trump having agreed last month to pursue a trade agreement by July 21.

- This escalation highlights ongoing tension in Canada-U.S. trade relations, with Carney preparing further meetings to negotiate and protect Canadian interests amid looming tariffs.
