CANADA, JUL 25 – Canada is negotiating with the U.S. to avoid 35% tariffs set for August 1 amid concerns over trade imbalances and security issues, including fentanyl flow, officials said.
- U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on August 1 to impose 35 per cent tariffs on certain Canadian imports if no trade deal is reached.
- The tariff threat arises amid ongoing complex negotiations aiming for a deal that protects Canadian workers and the economy before the August 1 deadline.
- Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc met with U.S. officials and senators in Washington, expressing cautious encouragement but acknowledging uncertainty about meeting the deadline.
- Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski stated the U.S. views Canada as a special partner due to shared security interests but doubts a resolution will come before August 1.
- If tariffs begin, some Canadian exports, including steel, automobiles, and pharmaceuticals, could face duties, potentially raising Canadian health costs and affecting investment decisions.
