Iowa senator says Trump's new tariffs should be a wake-up call for Canada
Grassley said the 50% duties could push Canada to change policies and warned that the talks must not weaken CUSMA.
- With 50 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods set to take effect August 19, Canadian officials intensified trade talks with American counterparts as President Donald Trump's deadline approaches.
- Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley described the threatened tariffs as a "wake-up call to Canada to make some changes," citing administration grievances over supply-managed dairy systems, liquor bans, and vehicle quotas.
- United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, speaking Friday at the Iowa State Fair, called ongoing trade talks with Canada "constructive" but offered no indication a deal would emerge before duties take effect.
- Trump has cast doubt on the future of the North American trade pact, calling it "irrelevant" and stating he wants to "tweak" the agreement while accusing Canada of failing to uphold dairy commitments.
- While Mexico and the United States have begun official CUSMA negotiations, no formal talks have launched between Ottawa and Washington, leaving Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc and chief negotiator Janice Charette to continue discussions in Washington.
