Justin Trudeau's final days as prime minister could be overshadowed by an imminent trade war with the United States, as President Trump's proposed 25 percent tariffs threaten Canada’s exports. Despite Canadian officials' attempts to negotiate, Trump's justification for the tariffs citing immigration issues lacks robust evidence, as demonstrated by U.S. government statistics. The Canadian economy could suffer severe repercussions due to its heavy dependence on exports and integration with the U.S. market, leading to a shared sentiment in Canada about the impending economic damage.
If tariffs do go into effect, Canada is poised to retaliate, setting off a trade war that would inflict major damage on the country's economy.
Trump has offered various rationales for the tariffs which were supposed to go into effect at the beginning of February, citing destabilization from unauthorized migrants and fentanyl.
U.S. government statistics do not support Trump's claims regarding Canada's economic impact on the United States, which fuels a misunderstanding about trade balance.
There is widespread consensus in Canada that tariffs would inflict major damage on the economy, especially as it is closely tied to U.S. markets.
