A timeline of Donald Trump’s trade war with Canada
Trump’s latest order targets goods from honey to hockey sticks, extending a tariff fight that has already hit steel, aluminum and autos.
- On Monday, July 20, 2026, President Donald Trump announced new 50 per cent tariffs on a range of Canadian goods, including honey and hockey sticks, set to take effect in 30 days.
- United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated on July 1, 2026, that the U.S. would not renew the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement "in its current form," signaling uncertainty around the pact's 16-year renewal deadline.
- Previous trade disputes involved the International Emergency Economic Powers Act , which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the administration used illegally for past "Liberation Day" duties on Canada, Mexico and China.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney previously characterized past tariff measures as "unlawful and unjustified," while Ottawa navigates volatile trade relationships and manages domestic economic impacts from escalating duties.
- The White House's "America First Trade Policy" continues to drive these protectionist measures, leaving businesses in flux as trade negotiations frequently stall and fluctuate between tariff cycles.
