When Donald Trump promised 25 percent tariffs on all Canadian exports a few months ago, many hoped it was bluster. Turns out, it might have been—but then again, maybe not.
Following his swearing-in and second inaugural address, the president directed the goverment to investigate trade policies and relationships, and “remedy persistent trade deficits.”
He initially stopped short of across-the-board tariffs, omitting mention of Canada in his address, though later in the day declared February 1 as the day tariffs will be imposed on Canada.
