On March 5, 2025, the US president enacted a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico but revised the policy just a day later. In response, Canada filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO), labeling the tariffs as unjustified. The Canadian Ambassador to the WTO expressed their concerns and requested consultations to address the issue. Additionally, the White House announced a temporary exemption for autos from these tariffs, highlighting ongoing tensions in US-Canada trade relations. The situation illustrates the complexities of international trade policies and their immediate repercussions.
Canada's Ambassador to the WTO, Nadia Theodore, stated, "We have requested WTO consultations with the government of the United States regarding its unjustified tariffs." This highlights Canada's objections to the new tariffs placed on goods.
Following the sudden 25% tariffs implementation, the White House announced an exemption for automobiles from Canada and Mexico for a month, indicating a hasty reassessment of trade relations.
