Canada to slap new tariffs on US products
In a significant move amid ongoing trade tensions, Canada is preparing to enforce new tariffs on various U.S. products in response to President Trump's tariffs. This situation has drawn commentary from former U.S. ambassador to Canada, Bruce Heyman, who spoke on the implications of these tariffs during a recent interview.
As Canada approaches its national holiday, Canada Day, on July 1st, the nation is set to counteract the tariffs imposed by the U.S. Heyman highlights that around 80% of Canadians oppose Trump's trade policies, signaling widespread discontent. He argues that this moment could be pivotal, potentially leading to long-term damage in the U.S.-Canada relationship, which has historically been strong.
Heyman emphasizes the unique bond between the two nations, recalling shared experiences, such as mutual cooperation during 9/11 and military engagements. He warns that the ramifications of these tariff disputes could transcend economic factors, hurting a relationship built on trust and cooperation.
The former ambassador also critiques the rationale behind the U.S. tariffs, particularly citing the inconsequential impact of Canadian dairy tariffs, which affect only a minuscule fraction of the overall trade. He suggests that Canada is responding proportionately and strategically, targeting U.S. congressional districts that are likely to feel the immediate impact of these tariffs, rather than engaging in an all-out trade war.
In conclusion, Heyman calls for negotiation and the consideration of restoring previous exemptions for Canadian goods, stressing that resolving these tensions is crucial for maintaining the healthy economic ties shared between the neighboring countries.
