Former U.S. President Donald Trump has temporarily paused tariffs on some Canadian goods until April 2, providing partial relief from a 25% levy. However, uncertainty remains as the White House ties the tariff reprieve to compliance with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), and most Canadian exports may still face high tariffs. Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc emphasized the need for full CUSMA compliance to avoid penalties, while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and provincial leaders vowed to maintain retaliatory measures until all tariffs are removed.
Trump is also set to impose a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports next week, which could harm Canadian industries. Additionally, he signaled future tariffs on Canadian and Mexican autos. His unpredictable trade policies have caused volatility in financial markets, while tensions with Trudeau over trade and other issues, including fentanyl, were evident in a recent heated phone call. Canada remains firm in negotiations, aiming to secure a stable and fair trade agreement with the U.S.
