35% tariff on Canada still in the cards, Lutnick says

WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES, JUL 31 – The tariff hike targets Canadian goods excluding those under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, aiming to address trade disputes cited as an emergency by the White House.

  • On Thursday, the White House announced that President Donald Trump approved an executive order raising tariffs on Canadian products from 25% to 35%, with the new rates taking effect on August 1.
  • The tariff hike followed stalled trade negotiations and Canada's announcement to recognize a Palestinian state, which Trump said complicates any deal.
  • Canada's imports to the U.S. this year total $168.54 billion, with just 19.1% eligible for duty-free entry under USMCA, down from 37.9%.
  • Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick described Canada’s Palestine stance as 'tone deaf' and said the 35% tariff would be punishing, while oil imports would remain duty free.
  • The tariff increase could deeply affect U.S.-Canada trade relations, though no court decision has been issued and retaliatory tariffs remain possible but uncertain.
