Canada faces another set of tariffs in its ongoing trade talks with the U.S. However, in this latest round of tariff announcements, investors have learned to largely tune them out as negotiating bluster rather than policy commitments.

The country’s new prime minister, Mark Carney, has been called the “Trump whisperer,” and negotiations have been cordial and professional. But it’s been a wild ride.

Trump this spring imposed a 25% tariff on cars and car parts, including those from Canada. But certain cars and parts qualify for preferential treatment under the USMCA, meaning the 25% tariff applies only to the non-U.S. content of the automobile or part.

The letter reiterated Trump’s complaints about dairy quotas, fentanyl and the U.S. trade deficit, which is mostly fueled by American refineries’ thirst for Canadian oil. His social media post caused the Canadian dollar to immediately tumble, indicating the market wasn’t expecting this escalation.

El presidente Donald Trump amenazó con imponer un arancel del 35% a algunos productos canadienses y planteó la posibilidad de aumentar los gravámenes a la mayoría de los demás países, intensificando su retórica comercial en unos comentarios que lastraron las bolsas e impulsaron el dólar estadounidense.
