President Trump is defending his trade policy and tariffs.
During a meeting with the Canadian Prime Minister, he said his team is making big progress on reversing the last four years of bad policy.
“Those numbers are rapidly turning between the tariffs. Don’t forget we’re now getting 25% on cars, 25% on aluminum, 25% on steel, and maybe more importantly, massive numbers of companies are moving into the United States, like Honda. Car companies are moving in at levels we’ve never seen before. The biggest investment ever made in the United States is being made right now.”
Trump and Mark Carney talked trade between the two countries and ways to move forward. President Trump acknowleged issues with the previous leadership in Canadian government, but says he looks forward to the upcoming negotiations for the USMCA.
Plan for a cooler global trade market in 2026 with tighter margins on exports, potential rate shifts, and premiums for reliable deliveries into Asian and African growth markets.
