Trump's tariffs to take effect for Canada

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced the imposition of 50% tariffs on hundreds of Canadian export products, a measure set to take effect in just a few hours. This decision was confirmed during a conversation between Trump and Mark Carney, who stated that Ottawa is preparing plans to address the situation.

Christine Fréchette expressed her concern about the federal government's response, noting that it is troubling that authorities are not providing more assurance less than two hours before the tariffs take effect. Her comment highlights the atmosphere of uncertainty surrounding this new regulation.

However, Trump also mentioned that an agreement had been reached between Canada and the United States, resulting in a three-day delay before the new tariffs are implemented. This information comes from an announcement made by the U.S. president.
