Canadian officials are anxiously awaiting U.S. President Donald Trump's decision on tariffs against Canadian imports. Trump hinted at imposing 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, but also suggested a potential 10% tariff on Canadian oil. While Trump's initial deadline of February 1st has passed without action, he remains adamant about imposing tariffs. Canadian officials have prepared retaliatory measures and engaged in diplomatic efforts to avert the tariffs.
WASHINGTON — Canadian officials are anxiously waiting to see if U.S. President Donald Trump follows through on his threat to slap Canada with devastating tariffs today.
But the president did not back away from his tariff threat and repeatedly suggested the duties would come on Feb. 1. "We have yet seen any form of clear decision-making and as well as any form of specific details coming from the White House," Joly said. The ministers said they shared Canada's $1.3-billion border security plan, implemented to ease Trump’s concerns. Miller said they also explained facts about the small volume of people and drugs illegally crossing the Canada-U.S. border.
