US EditionKansas businesses hit by Trump’s trade war are wooing Canadian customers
- Juliet Abdel, leader of the Topeka, Kansas, business chamber, is visiting Ottawa in May 2025 to meet with officials and work on improving trade relations amid ongoing tariff disputes.
- Her visit follows U.S. President Trump's imposition of 25% tariffs on Canadian goods in March, prompting Canadian retaliatory tariffs and reduced cross-border trade.
- About 20% of Kansas's local workforce depends on international trade with Canada, which annually receives $2.6 billion worth of exports from the state.
- Abdel cautioned that the tariffs imposed by both sides may result in financial losses reaching into the millions for businesses, and noted that Canadian consumers are increasingly avoiding American products and travel to the U.S.
- The trade tensions threaten the Midwest economy but ongoing negotiations and grace periods offer possible paths to ease uncertainty and restore stability.
