What will American consumers face when Trump imposes new tariffs on Canada

Outgoing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned that President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on Canadian products would lead to higher prices for American consumers. Trump plans to impose a 25% tariff starting February 1. Trudeau noted that Canada would enact retaliatory tariffs, increasing costs on many goods sold in the U.S. The tariffs could impact crucial commodities such as automobiles, lumber, and oil, with Alberta’s Premier Danielle Smith stating that gas prices in the U.S. might rise significantly. Canada serves as a major supplier of oil, steel, aluminum, and critical minerals to the U.S., despite claims that the U.S. does not rely on Canadian imports. Trudeau called for cooperation to promote economic growth, emphasizing the need to resolve tariff issues swiftly. He addressed trade dynamics by refuting Trump’s claims of a drug problem stemming from Canada and pointed out that trade between the U.S. and Canada is beneficial, contrary to Trump's portrayal of a trade deficit.
