Impact of US Tariffs on Canada
The reimposition of tariffs by the US on Canadian imports poses a significant threat to Canada’s economy, with 75% of its exports directed to the US. This economic strain could lead to inflated prices, as predicted inflation might rise to 7.2% and GDP could contract by 2.6%. In response, Canada established a fentanyl czar and moved troops to the border, indicating serious concerns regarding security and economic relations. The tariffs intertwine Canadian and US economies, highlighting the precarious nature of their trade dependence.
