According to Steel Market Update, the big headline for Canada right now is the return of U.S. Section 232 tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum in 2025, a move that has sharply reduced Canadian metal exports to the U.S. and reignited trade tensions across the border. The publication reports that when these tariffs were reimposed on Canadian and Mexican steel, U.S. imports dropped by m...

Listeners, welcome to Canada Tariff News and Tracker, your quick briefing on how shifting tariff policies between Washington and Ottawa are reshaping the Canadian economy.

Let’s start with the latest moves north of the border. According to Norton Rose Fulbright, Canada is rolling out aggressive new trade measures to shield its steel and lumber sectors following United States tariff actions and global overcapacity. Beginning December 26, Canada will cut back its tariff rate quotas on certain imported steel, meaning more foreign steel will face a steep 50 percent surtax once quarterly limits are hit. On top of that, Ottawa is...

Welcome to Canada Tariff News and Tracker, your essential update on the evolving US-Canada trade landscape under President Trump's second term. Trade Compliance Resource Hub's Trump 2.0 Tariff Tracker reveals Canada remains exempt from the US's 10% baseline reciprocal tariff implemented April 5, 2025, but faces targeted "fentanyl" tariffs effective March 4, 2025, adjusted through August 1. These hit at 0% for USMCA duty-free goods, 10% for energy, energy resources, and potash, and 35% for all other products. On October 25, President Trump threatened to hike this fentanyl rate by another 10%, intensifying pressure amid border security concerns.

Canada's countermeasures include repealing its fentanyl and steel-aluminum surtaxes plus a $30 billion...

Trump is intensifying his trade pressure on Canada this week, with significant implications for the fertilizer industry and broader cross-border commerce. The President has threatened steep tariffs on Canadian fertilizer supplies, a move that has already sparked pushback from U.S. agriculture groups and Republican lawmakers in farming states. More than half of Canada's potash supply flows to the United States, making this a critical pressure point in Trump's trade strategy.

In response to agricultural concerns, Trump has already lowered the tariff on fertilizer as well as Canadian energy products following resistance from farming interests and Republican representatives...

Listeners, welcome to Canada Tariff News and Tracker, where we cut through the noise on cross‑border trade so you can follow how U.S. and Trump-era tariff moves are reshaping Canada’s economy.

The big story is uncertainty. According to The Canadian Press reporting in the Winnipeg Sun, the Bank of Canada has spent much of this year trying to navigate the fallout from new U.S. tariffs and Canada’s retaliatory measures, warning that these trade actions risk a “stagflationary shock” — weaker growth combined with higher inflation driven partly by tariff costs being passed through to consumers. G...

Listeners, welcome back to Canada Tariff News and Tracker, your focused look at how Washington’s trade moves are reshaping Canada’s economy.

According to The Straits Times and Reuters, U.S. President Donald Trump has now **increased tariffs on most Canadian goods outside the USMCA to 35 per cent, up from 25 per cent**, under a sweeping executive order signed July 31. These higher duties hit Canadian exports that are not fully compliant with the US‑Mexico‑Canada Agreement, with especially sharp pressure on lumber, steel, aluminum, and autos.

The White House is branding this the “fentanyl tariff,” arguing that...

Donald Trump’s renewed tariff push is reshaping Canada–US trade, and Canada is feeling both the pressure and the opportunity as supply chains tilt toward the Western Hemisphere. According to Politico’s recent interview with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, the Trump administration’s strategy now places the lowest tariff rates in the Western Hemisphere to encourage companies to “nearshore” production into countries like Canada and Mexico, while keeping much higher tariffs on China and parts of Asia. [4] For Canadian exporters plugged into North American supply chains, that positioning is an advantage, but it comes against the backdrop of stalled high...

Welcome to Canada Tariff News and Tracker. I'm your host, and we're diving straight into what's happening at the Canada-US border right now.

The situation is heating up. Since President Trump imposed widespread tariffs on Canadian goods, border crossings into Washington have declined significantly. This isn't just a minor trade dispute anymore. Trump has made aggressive moves, even hinting at making Canada the 51st state, which has only intensified the uncertainty facing Canadian businesses and workers on both sides of the border.

Here's where things stand with the actual tariffs. Back in April 2025, the Trump administration...

Canada's economy faced significant turbulence in 2025, with the trade war against the United States emerging as the defining economic story of the year. The most damaging blow came through tariffs targeting Canadian steel and softwood lumber, which pushed export volumes downward and created uncertainty for major industries.

The Trump administration's aggressive use of Section 232 tariff authority has created a complex landscape for Canadian exporters. Steel, aluminum, and copper products now face a 50 percent tariff rate following investigations into their effect on U.S. national security. However, Canada has negotiated some relief through bilateral trade agreements. Under the U...

Welcome to Canada Tariff News and Tracker. I'm your host, and today we're breaking down the latest developments in the tariff landscape that's reshaping trade between the United States and Canada.

As of late November 2025, Canada continues to navigate one of the most turbulent trade periods in recent history. The situation has evolved dramatically since Trump's return to office in January.

Here's where things stand right now. Canada is...

Welcome to Canada Tariff News and Tracker. I'm your host, bringing you the latest on how Trump's trade policies are reshaping Canada's economy.

As of late November 2025, the trade relationship between the United States and Canada has fundamentally shifted. Prime Minister Mark Carney recently declared that the decades-long process of ever-closer economic integration between our two countries has ended. This marks a dramatic turning point after Canada has traditionally sent 90 percent of its oil exports to the US.

The numbers are staggering. Carney warned that American tariffs will wipe 50 billion dollars from Canada's economy, equivalent to 1,300...

Listeners, welcome to the Canada Tariff News and Tracker podcast for November 26, 2025.

Here’s what’s making headlines today regarding tariffs between the United States, the Trump administration, and Canada. Tensions over trade have continued to dominate headlines, but for now, the widely discussed additional tariffs on Canadian goods have not taken effect. Following a breakdown in negotiations last month after an Ontario government ad sparked backlash in Washington, President Trump threatened to slap an extra 10 percent tariff on Canadian imports, on top of the existing 35 percent duty many Canadian products currently face. As of today, however, industry sour...

Listeners, today’s Canada Tariff News and Tracker comes with a mix of clarity and caution as tensions remain high between the US and Canada over tariffs, but much of the drama is still unfolding behind the scenes.

In late October, President Trump stunned Canadian officials by announcing an additional 10% tariff increase on Canadian imports, just days after suspending trade talks in response to a $53 million Ontario government advertisement critical of US tariff policies. The announcement caused immediate anxiety, especially among auto, steel, aluminum, and lumber exporters, who already face significant duties. According to coverage by Ilkha News, th...

Listeners, welcome to Canada Tariff News and Tracker, where we break down the latest headlines and tariff developments on the U.S.–Canada front.

According to the latest updates, tariff policy between the United States and Canada has shifted rapidly throughout 2025. Early this year, the Trump administration invoked new powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, rolling out sweeping “reciprocal tariffs” that brought the average U.S. tariff rate to nearly 27 percent—its highest in a century. For Canada, this meant a 25 percent tariff on most goods starting in March, with energy and potash at a 10 percent rate, an...

The tensions between the US and Canada have reached new heights this fall. On October 25, President Trump announced an additional 10% tariff on Canadian goods, partly in retaliation for Premier of Ontario Doug Ford airing anti-tariff advertisements during the World Series, referencing Ronald Reagan’s 1987 opposition to tariffs. After negotiations, the current base US tariff rate on Canadian goods stands at approximately 17.9%. And that’s just the tip...

Listeners, welcome back to Canada Tariff News and Tracker. On this November 14th, 2025, the tariff landscape between the US, the Trump administration, and Canada is more contentious than at any point in recent memory.

In August 2025, the Trump administration raised the tariff rate for Canadian goods that don't qualify under the North American trade pact to 35%, up from 25%. This hike is directed at non-USMCA-qualifying exports, a category that’s broadly defined and increasingly scrutinized. As a result, Canadian exporters across various industries have scrambled to clarify compliance, with lingering fears about future retroactive penalties, as reported by the Re...

Canada’s trade relationship with the United States remains under pressure as President Trump’s sweeping tariffs on Canadian imports continue to disrupt both economies. In March, Trump imposed a 25 percent economywide tariff on nearly all Canadian goods by declaring a national emergency at the northern border, citing the flow of fentanyl as justification, even though U.S. government data shows only a minimal volume of fentanyl is seized at Canada’s border compared to Mexico. These tariffs exempt goods compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreemen...
