Canada not affected by Trump’s looming deadline for trade deals
CANADA, JUL 7 – The Trump administration's July 9 deadline targets up to 15 countries for trade deals to avoid 26% tariffs, while Canada has a later deadline of July 21 for a bilateral agreement.
- On June 27, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that trade negotiations with Canada would be halted due to disagreements over its digital services tax.
- This followed Canada's planned digital tax set to start June 30, which Canada then agreed to scrap before implementation.
- Since then, Buffalo Niagara tourism has suffered from fewer Canadian visitors, with border crossings in New York down 25% in May and widespread trip cancellations reported.
- Trump's administration announced it will send letters to around 15 countries starting July 7 warning that tariffs could take effect August 1 if no deals are reached.
- The ongoing tensions and reduced cross-border travel are hurting Buffalo’s economy while efforts like local ad campaigns and a planned cruise terminal try to sustain tourism.
