Trump signs executive order pushing tariffs on Canada to 35%
WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order pushing tariffs on Canada to 35 per cent beginning on Friday, following through on a threat to raise duties if Ottawa didn't make a trade deal. The White House confirmed the tariffs would not hit goods compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade, commonly known as CUSMA. A fact sheet from the White House said Canada 'failed to cooperate in curbing the ongoing flood of fentanyl' and also pointed to Ottawa's implementation of retaliatory tariffs. Canadian officials had been tempering expectations that a trade deal would materialize ahead of Trump's deadline and Prime Minister Mark Carney has said he'll only make an agreement that is good for Canada. Trump said earlier Thursday he had not 'spoken to Canada' but did reference that 'he's called' — suggesting Carney may have reached out hours before the 35 per cent tariff was set to hit. The Canadian Press has contacted Carney's office for confirmation but has not yet received a response. Ontario Premier Doug Ford posted on social media that 'Canada shouldn't settle for anything less than the right deal.' He repeated his call for the federal government to respond with a 50 per cent tariff on U.S. steel and aluminum. 'Now is not the time to roll over. We need to stand our ground,' Ford said. Trump dampened the prospect of a deal with Canada in a post on social media early Thursday morning that said it would be very hard to make a deal after Carney announced Wednesday that Ottawa intends to recognize a Palestinian state. Trump told reporters at the White House that he 'didn't like that' but that it was 'not a deal-breaker.' When asked about the holdup in Canadian negotiations, Trump said 'they have to pay a fair rate.' The president also misrepresented agricultural duties, complained about Canadian military spending and said Canada has been treating the United States badly for years. While Trump didn't mention fentanyl, the White House fact sheet focused on the drug to justify increasing the tariffs. 'Given Canada's continued failure to arrest traffickers, seize illicit drugs, or coordinate with U.S. law enforcement and Canada's retaliation against the United States for the President's actions to address the unusual and extraordinary threat to America, further presidential action is necessary and appropriate to protect American lives and the national security and foreign policy of the United States,' the White House said. U.S. government data shows a miniscule amount of fentanyl is seized at the border with Canada compared to Mexico. Ottawa responded to Trump's concerns of cross-border trafficking with a $1.3 billion boosted border plan. Ottawa appointed a 'fentanyl czar' and announced a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl trafficking and money laundering, and deployed additional helicopters and drones along the border. Trump announced a 90-day extension on trade talks for Mexico Thursday after a phone conversation with President Claudia Sheinbaum. He said it was because the 'complexities of a Deal with Mexico are somewhat different than other Nations because of both the problems, and assets, of the Border.' 'Additionally, Mexico has agreed to immediately terminate its Non Tariff Trade Barriers, of which there were many,' Trump said. In a separate executive order Thursday Trump increased his so-called 'Liberation Day' tariffs on many other nations, with those duties to be implemented in seven days. The order applied to 68 countries, as well as the 27-member European Union, which negotiated its new tariff rate in a deal announced earlier in the week. Countries that were not listed would face a baseline 10 per cent tariff. While Trump continued to claim in posts on social media that tariffs are making 'America GREAT & RICH Again,' the president's main tool for realigning global trade faced some sharp questions from federal appellate judges in court earlier Thursday. The Trump administration's lawyer argued in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit that there are still checks and balances on the president's powers and he has the authority to use a national security statute to impose duties — despite the fact that the word 'tariff' is found nowhere in the International Economic Emergency Powers Act of 1977. The act, usually referred to by the acronym IEEPA, gives the U.S. president authority to control economic transactions after declaring an emergency. No previous president had ever used it for tariffs and the U.S. Constitution reserves power over taxes and tariffs for Congress. Members of the 11-judge panel on Thursday repeatedly questioned the Trump's administration's justifications for using IEEPA to implement the so-called 'Liberation Day' and fentanyl-related tariffs 'If the president says there's a problem with our military readiness and he puts a 20 per cent tax on coffee, that doesn't seem to necessarily deal with (it)' said Chief Circuit Judge Kimberly Moore. No decision was issued from the bench Thursday and a White House spokesperson has said the case is expected to go before the Supreme Court.

EDITORIAL: Mark Carney tossed grenade into trade talks
Announcing Canada's support for an independent Palestinian state in opposition to U.S. President Donald Trump's position defies logic Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney speaks during a press conference after a Cabinet meeting to discuss both trade negotiations with the US and the situation in the Middle East, at the National Press Theatre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on July 30, 2025. Photo by Dave Chan / AFP via Getty Images Why Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Canada's support for an independent Palestinian state in opposition to U.S. President Donald Trump's position – two days before the Aug. 1 deadline for negotiating a tariff and trade deal with Canada – is inexplicable.

Create Account Initially, Trump said on social media that Canada's actions would make it very difficult to reach an agreement on trade by the deadline, although he later said in response to questioning in the Oval Office that it wasn't a deal breaker. Regardless, it was an unnecessary distraction from the trade negotiations with Trump, who signed an executive order Thursday raising U.S. tariffs on imported goods from Canada not compliant with the 2020 Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement to 35% from 25%. The White House also announced a 40% tariff on any goods shipped to another country to avoid the tariffs. As for the current state of the negotiations, Trump revealed that before the new tariffs were announced when he said, 'We haven't spoken to Canada today. He's (Carney) called and … we'll see.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Read More Meanwhile Mexico, which didn't impose retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. – in fact, Canada and China were the only two countries to do so – received a 90-day reprieve from any new tariffs while negotiations continue. None of this evokes confidence in Carney's ability to achieve a deal on trade with the U.S., which was why Canadians elected him. To be clear, while we disagree with Carney's intention to recognize an independent Palestinian state – particularly as he heads a minority government with Parliament in recess and thus with no debate in the House of Commons – we do not question his authority to make that decision. RECOMMENDED VIDEO We are a sovereign nation with the right to declare our own foreign policies, regardless of the views of the American president. But why Carney announced it just before a deadline on efforts to arrive at a deal on trade with Trump, affecting the livelihoods of millions of Canadians, defies logic. As for what comes next in these negotiations, who knows, given Trump's habit of changing his mind and reversing course on his decisions within days and sometimes mere hours after making them. But there was no need for Carney to add fuel to the fire. Toronto & GTA Canada Toronto Blue Jays MLB World

‘The fallout is going to be real'
Manitoba exports may become more expensive for American customers, but the proposed change is being met with skepticism. Since 2016, exporters could ship parcels valued at US$800 or less into the United States tax-free. That's changing, according to an executive order U.S. President Donald Trump signed Wednesday. He's suspending the global exemption — called the de minimis exemption — starting Aug. 29. ADRIAN WYLD / THE CANADIAN PRESS FILES Since 2016, exporters could ship parcels valued at US$800 or less into the United States tax-free. That's changing, according to an executive order U.S. President Donald Trump signed Wednesday. He's suspending the global exemption — called the de minimis exemption — starting Aug. 29. New charges will vary. If a good is sent through the postal service, it'll be hit by a tariff rate from its country of origin. In other cases, the fee could range from US$80 to US$200, depending on the tariff rate at the package's country of origin. This option has a six-month time line. Canada is among the countries negotiating new trade pacts with the United States. Freshly signed deals with the U.S., including those by the European Union and Japan, have come with 15 per cent tariffs. 'The fallout is going to be real,' said Tyler Slobogian, a senior policy analyst with the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. Roughly 16 per cent of the CFIB's 4,500 Manitoba members export to the United States. Most ship using the de minimis exemption. Losing the immunity will likely result in companies changing their export models or dropping American sales, Slobogian forecast. Already, 31 per cent of Manitoba CFIB members have shifted to domestic suppliers within Canada amid U.S. trade uncertainty. Another 31 per cent are considering doing the same, per CFIB polling. Meantime, 14 per cent have moved their export markets outside of the United States. On Thursday night, Trump announced 35 per cent tariffs (up from 25 per cent) on Canadian goods not covered by the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement on trade, with the new number going into effect today. 'It's just another degree of uncertainty,' Matt Poirier, Retail Council of Canada vice-president of federal government relations, said of the de minimis change. 'Who knows if this order will see the light of day by the end of August?' He was echoed by Riley Slater, a K9 Storm employee. The Winnipeg company ships collars and leashes, among other things, to U.S. clientele under the exemption. 'Everything is kind of fluid,' Slater said. 'Things that are said today (are) not necessarily how it's going to be once trade deals are all worked out and finalized.' K9 Storm's wares comply with CUSMA and are not subject to current tariffs. It's unclear how the de minimis exemption's repeal might affect exports. A majority of Manitoba exports are CUSMA compliant, customs brokers have noted. The Retail Council of Canada has championed Canada's low de minimis rates, which is generally set at $20. 'Companies based outside of Canada (shouldn't) have a selling advantage into Canada,' Poirier said. 'The U.S. has the right to do that for themselves, too, obviously, but the way they're yo-yo-ing back and forth on this … that's going to impact their consumers.' Alan Dewar, executive vice-president of GHY International, expressed his surprise in a 2016 LinkedIn post following a change in the U.S. de minimis exemption from US$200 to US$800. Dewar labelled foreign businesses among the 'winners' in the 2016 policy change. Direct-to-consumer shipments from international businesses, like Chinese-based Shein and Temu, have since increased. Dewar expects Trump's executive order on the issue will affect all Manitoba companies who export south of the border. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. 'Everybody ships something that is probably worth less than $800,' he said Thursday. Once companies need declarations to ship their lower-value packages, brokerages like GHY will get busier, Dewar predicted. A combined cost of duties and intermediaries — like brokers — will raise the price of goods entering the U.S., he added. The Trump administration slashed the de minimis exemption on Chinese and Hong Kong imports in May. It initially set a tariff rate of 120 per cent on incoming goods from China, but later lowered the fee to 54 per cent. Manitoba businesses reliant on Chinese parts, and identifying their products' country of origin as China, have lost the de minimis exemption on applicable goods.
