US EditionTrump's latest tariff threats will hurt U.S. just as much as Canada, experts say
Experts caution that tariffs on Canadian goods could disrupt $909 billion in trade and raise costs for U.S. consumers while harming American workers and businesses.
- On Jan. 24, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened a 100% tariff on Canadian goods if Canada strikes a China deal following his Davos trip.
- Canada's China pact lowers retaliatory tariffs and follows the 2024 tariff changes, cutting Canadian electric vehicles duties to 6.1 with a 49000 annual allotment.
- More than $909 billion in bilateral trade flowed between Canada and the U.S. in 2024, with about 85 per cent of Canadian goods entering tariff-free under CUSMA; non-CUSMA products face a 25 per cent tariff.
- International trade experts warn a 100% U.S. tariff would harm the U.S. economy and raise costs for American consumers, while Unifor and Lana Payne say the threats risk destroying industrial capacity.
- Experts noted the China trade deal is unlikely to serve as a pass-through for Chinese goods, and it was unclear if threatened tariffs would apply to CUSMA-compliant products.
