AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoUS-Canada Trade War: President Donald Trump has unveiled sweeping 50% tariffs on a wide range of Canadian imports, citing “discriminatory treatment” of U.S. cars, alcohol and dairy. The duties cover about $20 billion in goods and are set to start in 30 days, with the White House pointing to Section 338 of the Tariff Act—rarely used and described as a first in nearly a century. Canada’s Response: Prime Minister Mark Carney says the move violates USMCA/CUSMA and Canada is ready to “intensify” talks while protecting workers and businesses. What’s Hit/Spared: Targeted items include wine, cement, furniture, seeds, swimming pools, fishing gear, clothing and hockey-related goods, while energy, potash, fish and critical minerals are exempt. Diplomacy Beyond Trade: Separately, Foreign Minister Anita Anand met Pakistan leaders in Islamabad to revive trade and investment ties and push forward a Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA).
