Trump threatens 35 per cent tariffs on Canada, Australia’s could double
US President Donald Trump has threatened a 35 per cent tariff on goods imported from Canada, a dramatic escalation in an on-again, off-again trade war with America's northern neighbour and one of its most important trading partners.
"Starting August 1, 2025, we will charge Canada a Tariff of 35 per cent on Canadian products sent into the United States, separate from all Sectoral Tariffs," Trump wrote in a letter posted to social media.
NBC News also reported Thursday that Trump told Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker that the remaining US trading partners that have not yet received trade letters or reached framework agreements will be charged a blanket tariff rate.
