Trump raises tariffs on Canada to 35 percent
President Trump announced Thursday that the U.S. would raise tariffs on certain Canadian goods from 25 percent to 35 percent beginning Friday. Goods that are covered under the 2020 United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement will be exempt from the tariff rate, the White House said. The White House announced the increase hours before higher tariff rates on several countries were set to go into effect. Canada is among the United States's top trading partners. 'Canada has failed to cooperate in curbing the ongoing flood of fentanyl and other illicit drugs, and it has retaliated against the United States for the president's actions to address this unusual and extraordinary threat to the United States,' the White House said in a fact sheet. Trump earlier this year imposed a 25 percent tariff on Mexico and Canada, citing frustrations that the countries had not done enough to curb the flow of fentanyl into the United States. Experts have noted relatively little fentanyl crosses into the U.S. via the northern border compared with the southern border. The president earlier this month threatened to raise tariffs on Canada to 35 percent, again citing the fentanyl issue. Trump late Wednesday said Canada's decision to recognize the Palestinian state complicated efforts to broker a trade agreement. Trump has for months railed against Canada, claiming the U.S. has no need for Canadian goods and musing about annexing Canada as the 51st state. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and other Canadian leaders have flatly rejected that suggestion and asserted that the two nations work better together as partners.

Canada PM Carney responds to Trump's tariff increase
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said early Friday he is 'disappointed' by President Trump's decision to increase tariffs on his country to 35 percent but left open the door for a potential trade deal. After weeks of negotiations with America's northern neighbor, Trump decided to ratchet up levies on the country alongside sweeping new tariffs announced Thursday. The president again cited what he claimed was a 'flood' of fentanyl from the northern border, a statement not supported by data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Carney's efforts to recognize a Palestinian state also jeopardized talks, Trump said late Wednesday. In his statement, Carney said Canada accounted for only 1 percent of fentanyl coming into the U.S. and that the country 'has been working intensively to further reduce these volumes.' 'Canada's government is making historic investments in border security to arrest drug traffickers, take down transnational gangs, and end migrant smuggling,' he wrote. 'These include thousands of new law enforcement and border security officers, aerial surveillance, intelligence and security operations, and the strongest border legislation in our history.' Trump's updated tariff rate does not impact goods that are primarily manufactured in Canada, one of the provisions of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement negotiated during his first term. Carney said that carve-out would keep the country's overall tariff rate low, among the lowest of all its foreign trading partners. However, the Canadian prime minister said other sectors of the economy, including lumber, steel, aluminum and cars, would be significantly impacted, and that his government would explore protective measures. 'For such sectors, the Canadian government will act to protect Canadian jobs, invest in our industrial competitiveness, buy Canadian, and diversify our export markets,' he wrote. Canada instituted retaliatory tariffs in March after Trump floated a 25 percent levy on steel and alumni, both significant Canadian imports. In his statement, Carney appeared to acknowledge that influencing the White House's decisions might be beyond his reach. 'While we will continue to negotiate with the United States on our trading relationship, the Canadian government is laser focused on what we can control: building Canada strong,' the prime minister said.
