Canada seeks to avoid Trump's tariffs
Canada intends to avoid imposing tariffs by the United States, as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to intensify trade negotiations between the two countries. This comes as part of efforts to prevent Trump from imposing tariffs of up to 50% on a wide range of Canadian imports, including automobiles, dairy products, and alcohol, in response to what he describes as discrimination in the Canadian market. Canada has confirmed that it will consider all options if tariffs are enforced, while provincial leaders have called for reciprocal measures and supported negotiations to prevent escalation, amid concerns about negative impacts on workers and local economies. The American move is based on an old law that allows for punitive tariffs, and the tariffs are expected to come into effect after 30 days, targeting imports worth nearly $20 billion from Canada.
