President Trump announces 35% tariffs on all Canadian goods starting August 1st

New tariffs were announced overnight against Canada. In a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney, President Trump expressed concerns in several areas, including dairy trade.

Canada now faces a 35 percent tariff on all goods entering the United States, beginning August 1st. The rate will be on top of the other sector-based duties.

President Trump says Canada still has large barriers for U.S. dairy products, warning that some dairy farmers cannot even enter the Canadian market. He calls the imbalance a threat to national security.
