US EditionLeBlanc Says He Expects Carney, Trump Will Speak in the Coming Days
CANADA, AUG 3 – The 35% U.S. tariff targets Canadian goods outside the USMCA amid U.S. claims of insufficient fentanyl control, affecting a small portion of trade, officials said.
- In Washington, the White House announced that on Aug. 1, President Donald Trump raised U.S. tariffs to 35% on goods outside the USMCA citing Canada's 'lack of co-operation' and an 'unusual and extraordinary threat'.
- Since January, the tariff war has been fueled by the U.S. linking the hike to Canada's alleged failure to stop fentanyl smuggling, amid strained relations since Trump suggested Canada could be '51st state' and after Friday's announcement.
- Canada imposes a 25% countertariff on U.S. steel and aluminum, and Greer said, `Our view is the president is trying to fix the terms of trade with Canada, and if there's a way to a deal, we'll find it`.
- Amid the tariff dispute, U.S. President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will likely speak 'over the next number of days,' Canadian official said, as LeBlanc emphasized readiness to negotiate.
- Long-Term, Canada faces a legal challenge to a tariff that has reached a federal appeals court, while remaining the U.S.'s largest trading partner last year.
