Will Trump's Trade Deals Save Your Pocketbook?
CANADA, JUL 29 – Canada faces higher tariff threats of up to 35% as its trade relationship with the U.S. differs from Europe and Japan, complicating negotiations, officials say.
- Last week, President Donald Trump unveiled tariff deals with the European Union and Japan, setting 15% tariffs and securing $600 billion and $750 billion investment commitments, prompting questions about whether Canada should follow suit.
- Amid looming tariff threats, Canada faces the risk of 35% duties on some goods if no deal is reached, but Prime Minister Mark Carney said cross-the-board tariffs are hard to accept.
- James Knightley, ING’s chief international economist, said the EU trade deal is 'mildly important' for American consumers.
- With deals secured, Trump said, `I think it's great that we made a deal today instead of playing games and maybe not making a deal at all, I think it's the biggest deal ever made`.
- In the coming months, analysts warn inflationary effects from tariffs could intensify, and Canada may struggle to reach a deal before the Aug. 1 deadline.
