Shock! Donald Trump will impose 35% tariff on Canada, will apply to all goods, know details
US President Donald Trump has shocked Canada. Trump on Thursday announced that his administration would impose 35 percent tariffs on all Canadian goods from next month.
According to the news of The Hill, the US President posted a letter to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in which he presented the outline of the upcoming tariff. Let me tell you, this week, Trump has written a letter to about 20 countries and has resolved to put heavy tariffs on their imports from August 1.
This ultimatum
According to the news, the President argued that Canada has not taken enough steps to prevent Fentanile’s flow in the United States, while compared to the southern boundary, every year passes relatively less phentaile from the northern border. In a letter to Carney, Trump wrote that if Canada works with me to stop Fentenyl’s flow, we will probably consider a change in this letter. Depending on our relationship with your country, these tariffs can be increased or reduced.
Earlier 25 percent tariff was imposed
Earlier, the US imposed 25 percent tariff on Canadian items. Then Trump later exempted the products under the 2020 trade agreement between the US, Canada and Mexico. However, it is not yet clear whether these discounts will remain applicable even further. US President Donald Trump has been speaking against Canada for a long time, claiming that the US has no need for Canadian items and is thinking of joining Canada as the 51st state.
Carney and other Canadian leaders have rejected this suggestion outright and said that the two countries can do better work as partners. Since becoming Prime Minister, Carney has adopted a policy to reduce his dependence on the US and has taken steps towards strengthening relations with the European Union and the United Kingdom. Prior to Canada, Trump announced a 50 percent tariff on Brazil. Brazil has reacted strongly to this.
