Intensifying trade war could permanently alter Canada-U.S. trade, economist says
Peter Schiff, chief economist at Euro Pacific Asset Management, says the trade war between Canada and the U.S. could permanently change cross-border trade patterns.
Canadian companies are seeking new markets due to tariffs and the U.S. becoming an unreliable trading partner, potentially forming partnerships that may not be reversed easily.
Investments in new logistics and infrastructure may lead Canadian companies to focus on other markets instead of the U.S., especially if the U.S. dollar weakens.
The U.S. could lose more because it relies more heavily on imports than Canada.
