Trump threatens Canada with 35% tariff, Carney says he’ll defend workers

From Global News.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will continue to defend its workers and businesses in negotiations for a U.S. trade deal with what he calls a “revised deadline of August 1” after President Donald Trump made his latest tariff threat.

The president’s letter once again referenced fentanyl allegedly “pouring into” the U.S. from Canada as a primary reason for the increased duties.

"Even more worrisome than the tariffs themselves is the uncertainty… that uncertainty is choking Canadian businesses every single day that this exists," Dan Kelly, Canadian Federation of Independent Business, says.
