Timeline of the 2025 United States trade war with Canada

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by editing the page to add missing items, with references to reliable sources.

The following article is a broad timeline of the course of events surrounding the 2025 United States trade war with Canada and Mexico.

The 2025 United States trade war with Canada began on February 1, 2025, when President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs on Canadian goods, including a 25% tariff on most imports and a 10% tariff on Canadian energy products. Canada responded with its own retaliatory tariffs on $30 billion worth of U.S. goods, escalating to $155 billion after three weeks. These measures marked a significant escalation in trade tensions, disrupting longstanding cross-border economic cooperation and prompting both countries to implement additional countermeasures and support programs for affected industries.

The conflict quickly expanded to include tariffs on steel, aluminum, automobiles, and a range of consumer goods, with both federal and provincial governments in Canada taking steps to mitigate the impact on businesses and workers. The trade war has led to market volatility, strained diplomatic relations, and forced companies on both sides of the border to adapt to new supply chain realities, while ongoing negotiations and temporary exemptions have provided only limited relief amid continued uncertainty.

2024

• February 21, 2024 The bilateral trade relationship between the United States and Canada is one of the world's largest ^{[1] : 1}—Canada buys "more from American businesses than the UK, France, China and Japan combined". ^[2] In 2023, a total of US$923 billion goods and services was traded. ^{[1] : 1} Both the energy and automotive markets are highly integrated. ^{[1] : 1} According to a CRS report based on U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis data, taking into consideration both goods and services, in 2023, Canada was the United States' largest trading partner with U.S. imports from Canada valued at US$482 billion and U.S. exports to Canada valued at US$441 billion resulting a US$41 billion shortfall with Canada. ^[1] The 2024 US$45 billion trade deficit with Canada in 2024 is the second smallest of all American trade deficits, representing 4% of the overall U.S. trade deficit. Reduction of Canadian imports "would barely move the needle", according to Toronto Dominion Bank (TD) economists. ^{[3] [a] [b]}
• October 15, 2024 In an interview with Bloomberg News editor John Micklethwait at the Economic Club of Chicago on October 15, 2024, then-presidential candidate Donald Trump outlined his economic strategy, emphasizing the use of "draconian" tariffs as a key component to fund his proposed tax cuts, which would incentivize companies to invest in manufacturing within the United States. ^{[5] [6] [7]}
• November 25 In a post on Truth Social, Trump announced that one of his first Executive Orders would impose and maintain a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico citing their alleged inadequate efforts to control their borders. ^{[8] [7]}

• November 29 Days after Trump's Truth Social post threatened 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Dominic LeBlanc, Canada's Finance Minister, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and others dined at Trump's Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago to discuss trade and tariffs. ^[9]
• December 5 The chief economist of the largest farm group in the United States—the American Farm Bureau Federation cautioned that it was important that the United States' administration "talk first" with "friends like Mexico and Canada" before "shooting". ^[10] Export sales of agricultural products represent approximately 20% of the U.S. agricultural sector sales—Canada and Mexico are American farmers' largest export customers and import suppliers. ^[10]
• December 9 Then-President-elect Donald Trump referred to Trudeau as Governor of the Great State of Canada. ^{[11] [12] [13] [11]}
• December 16 The Canadian Department of Finance announced initiatives in response to economic uncertainties following the 2024 United States presidential election including new tariffs on Chinese products. ^{[14] [15]}

2025

January

• January 6 In a Truth Social post, Trump made the false claim that "Many people in Canada LOVE being the 51st State." ^[16] A CNN article fact-checking Trump's claims about Canada, said that the 51st idea is "massively unpopular" in Canada— 85% are opposed and only 9% are in favor. ^[17] It is one thing that politicians on left and right "vehemently" reject. ^[18] In the same post, Trump said without evidence that by joining the U.S. as a state, Canada "would be TOTALLY SECURE from the threat of the Russian and Chinese Ships that are constantly surrounding them." ^[16] Canada has never been surrounded as described. While there have been sporadic sightings of Russian and Chinese military ships and aircraft, as well as Chinese research vessels viewed with suspicion, in the vicinity of Alaska in recent years, these occurrences have been limited and monitored by Canadian and U.S. military forces. ^[19]
• January 7 During a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, in response to a question by NBC correspondent Vaughn Hillyard, then President-elect Trump said he would not use "military force to annex and acquire" Canada but he would use "economic force". ^[20] He said that getting "rid of that artificially drawn line"—the Canada–United States border — would improve national security. ^[20] Trump said that the United States was subsidizing Canada by over US$200 billion annually through the U.S. trade deficit with Canada. ^{[21] [20] [c]} Trump conflates the trade deficit with a subsidy. In 2024 the U.S. trade deficit with Canada in goods and services was US$35.7 billion—excluding services, it was US$70.6 billion according to official US statistics. ^[18]
• January 15 A meeting convened by Prime Minister Trudeau with First Ministers—premiers of Canadian provinces—was held to discuss the threat of tariffs by the United States, including revisiting the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) that regulates interprovincial trade. ^{[22] [23]}
• January 20 In a memo President Donald Trump told officials to "assess the unlawful migration and fentanyl flows" from Canada, Mexico and China" and then "recommend appropriate trade and national security measures to resolve that emergency." ^[7]
• January 22 A second meeting of First Ministers was held to prepare for a trade war and to discuss the removal of the 2017 detailed list of approximately 245 exemptions to the CFTA so Canadian consumers could trade goods and move workers between provinces. ^[24]
• January 29 Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly met with United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington, D.C. in response to the threat of steep United States tariffs that could result in a trade war between the two countries. ^{[25] [26]} Joly expressed cautious optimism about a diplomatic solution to trade relations. ^{[25] [26]} Along with presenting details of Canada's initiatives in working with the United States to tackle illegal immigration and fentanyl at the border, she clarified that less than 1% of the fentanyl and less than 1% of illegal immigrants enter the United States through the Canadian border. ^[27]
• January 31 Columbia University's economics professor and Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz said that "Virtually all economists think that the impact of the tariffs will be very bad for America and for the world...They will almost surely be inflationary...It's inconceivable that other countries won't retaliate." ^[28]

February

• February 1 At the beginning of his second non-consecutive term, President Trump signed three executive orders and a Fact Sheet under the authority of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) declaring a national emergency. ^[29] He announced that Canada and Mexico would be sanctioned with tariffs starting on March 4, citing an "extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs" and their "series of failures" to "address the flow of narcotics into the United States". ^[30] His E.O "Imposing Duties to Address the Flow of Illicit Drugs Across Our Northern Border" and Fact Sheet said that "Canada has played a central role in these challenges, including by failing to devote sufficient attention and resources or meaningfully coordinate with United States law enforcement partners to effectively stem the tide of illicit drugs." ^{[29] [31]}

• – According to a 2025 CRS backgrounder report on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), since Trump is the first president to use the IEEPA to impose tariffs, open questions remain about the "scale and scope of what tariffs might be authorized under the statute." ^{[30] [44] : 26}
• – A series of "high-stakes" phone calls between Trump and Trudeau and between other officials took place. ^[45] Trump cited a memo which included a list of grievances with Canada that were unrelated to trade, such as renegotiating the Canada–United States border. ^[e]

• March 5 Canada requests a World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute consultation with the U.S. regarding their "unjustified tariffs". Consultations are the first stage of formal dispute settlement; if no solution is reached within 60 days, Canada can request adjudication by the WTO's dispute settlement body. ^[73]
  • In a phone call Ford Motors' CEO Jim Farley and Executive Chairman Bill Ford, General Motors' CEO Mary Barra, and Stellantis' Chairman John Elkann asked Trump to give a reprieve on the 25% tariffs on imports related to the automobile industry that are in compliance with the rules under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement signed by Trump in 2020. ^[74] Increased prices caused by tariffs because of the interconnected automobile industry's supply chain, could also lead to higher automobile insurance. ^[75]

Signing the USMCA at the G-20 Leaders' Summit in Buenos Aires

• — The U.S. dollar experienced its steepest early-year decline since the 2008 financial crisis with the Dollar Index (DXY) falling 4.2% by the close on March 7. ^[i] This drop, largely occurring in that week, coincided with the implementation of tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods—measures that unexpectedly strengthened both the Canadian dollar and the Mexican peso. Meanwhile, European currencies, particularly the euro, surged as the continent responds to U.S. tensions by boosting defense spending and stimulating economic growth. Despite these developments, the Trump administration continues to assert its commitment to policies aimed at strengthening the dollar. ^[87]

• March 7
• The Canadian federal government announced the launch of Export Development Canada (EDC)'s Trade Impact Program (TIP) as part of an initial CA$6.5 billion, as well as an additional CA$5 billion over two years in support of Canadian businesses negatively impacted by U.S. tariffs. ^[90]

• – Bloomberg News said that while Trump is fulfilling a campaign promise to impose tariffs as his signature economic policy, he is using them to intimidate other countries as leverage in disputes unrelated to trade. In the 21st century global economy this represents a "dramatic shift" as most nation states with larger economies are working towards reducing, not increasing trade barriers. ^[98]

• March 10 Trump's suggestion that there was a possibility of a recession in a Fox News interview is cited as causing investor fears and a decline in the S&P 500. Trade tensions are listed as one of the factors contributing to one of the worst single-day market performances since 2022. ^[99] Since its peak in February, the S&P 500 lost US$4 trillion from the stock market sell-off. ^[100]
• March 11 The S&P 500 dropped by 9% since its February 14 peak with the Nasdaq falling by 13%.

• – Bloomberg reported that it only took 16 days for the S&P 500 index to slip into a correction—defined as a 10% decline from a recent high. ^[113]

• March 15— Prime Minister Carney and Bill Blair, Canada's defence minister, are investigating alternatives to the planned procurement of U.S.-based" Lockheed Martin's F-35 Lightning II jets in response to Trump's policy shifts.

• March 17— Prime Minister Carney met French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in France and London to discuss trade and security ties as a follow up to Trump's instigation of a trade war. In response to questions from the press, Carney said that in order for broader conversations between the United States and Canada on bilateral trade to take place, Trump had to stop the unhelpful and disrespectful comments about the 51st state. ^[115]

• – According to The Economist , the American economy was currently in a state of uncertainty, with both positive and negative indicators causing concern among economists and policymakers.

• – In an Asahi Shimbun article cited by The Economist, the Japanese newspaper's editorial board called Trump's tariffs a "reckless manipulation of trade policy" that violate WTO rules and bilateral trade agreements. The editors called on major countries to unite against the tariffs, to strengthen the WTO, and to uphold its rules. ^[117]

• March 19— As part of the process of reducing its dependence on the United States, Canada is in advanced talks with the European Union to gain preferential access to military equipment. ^[118] European Union's plans to increase military spending could include 35% of components being supplied by Canada. ^[118]

• – According to the Economist, the Trump administration is "extraordinarily blasé" about the loss of US$4.5 trillion in stockmarket value—representing an 8% loss since the S&P's February peak. The Economist cautions that this will potentially result in consumer spending falling by billions of dollars in 2025. ^[119]

• March 22— A CBC investigation underscores how misinformation is affecting U.S.-Canada trade talks. Ambassador Kirsten Hillman, economist Trevor Tombe, and Al Mussell of Agri-Food Economic Systems point to misleading narratives—such as inflated claims about Canadian dairy tariffs—as a source of tension. These distortions fuel public pressure on American policymakers to confront supposed trade injustices that don't align with the actual agreements. As a result, negotiators must navigate between fact-based policymaking and the political fallout of misinformation, increasing the risk of prolonged or unnecessary disputes. ^[120]
• March 26— A White House fact sheet was published announcing upcoming tariffs on cars and car components. ^[121]
• March 27— United States allies worldwide criticized Donald Trump's March 27 announcement of 25% global tariffs on automobiles and automotive components, set to take effect on April 3. Analysts warned the measures risked sparking a global trade conflict. In response, Prime Minister Carney stated: "The era of close economic integration and security cooperation with the United States has ended... Our strategy involves combatting these tariffs, safeguarding Canadian interests, and strengthening domestic industries. We will implement retaliatory trade measures designed to maximize U.S. consequences while minimizing domestic fallout." ^[122] At a rally of supporters in Laurier-Sainte-Marie, Quebec, Carney said the United States was "no longer a reliable partner". ^[123] He called on Canadians to "fundamentally reimagine our economy", to "dramatically reduce our dependence on the United States", and to "build new trading partnerships elsewhere". ^[123]
• March 28— A Friday morning phone call between Prime Minister Carney and President Trump was the first since Carney became Prime Minister. Carney described the call as "positive, cordial, constructive — exactly what we want." He said while they had "made progress", this was "the beginning of negotiations". ^[124] On Truth Social immediately after the phone call, Trump said that they the call had been "extremely productive...we agree on many things." ^[125] He added that they will "begin comprehensive negotiations about a new economic and security relationship" after the upcoming 2025 Canadian federal election. ^[125] On the same day he later told reporters that "Many countries have taken advantage of us,” but not Canada...I think things will work out very well between Canada and the United States". ^[124]

April

• April 2— The United States Senate voted 51-48 to pass a resolution sponsored by Senator Tim Kaine that sought to end an alleged national emergency at the northern border, which Trump had declared on February 1 under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to address alleged fentanyl smuggling. ^[126] Kaine dismissed the emergency as a "made-up" justification for tariffs on Canada, arguing that it was being used to generate revenue for tax cuts benefiting billionaires. Kaine stated, "This is not about fentanyl. It's about tariffs. It's about a national sales tax on American families." ^{[127] [126]} All Democratic senators and four Republicans voted in favour. However, the resolution is largely symbolic, as it is unlikely to advance in the Republican-controlled United States House of Representatives. Maine Senator Susan Collins supported the resolution stating that Maine would lose 510 irreplaceable paper mill jobs because of the tariffs. She noted that the southern, not the northern boundary is where the majority of fentanyl comes into the United States. ^[127] The resolution also represents a rare rebuke of Trump's trade policies and highlights divisions within the Republican Party regarding tariffs. ^[127]

Tim Kaine

• April 3— In response to the tariffs imposed by Trump, Carney said in a speech in Ottawa, "The global economy is fundamentally different today than it was yesterday. The system of global trade anchored on the United States that Canada has relied on since the end of the Second World War—a system that, while not perfect, has helped to deliver prosperity for our country for decades—is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80-year period when the United States embraced the mantle of global economic leadership, when it forged alliances rooted in trust and mutual respect, and championed the free and open exchange of goods and services, is over." ^[128] Carney imposed 25% tariffs on auto and autoparts to match Trump's tariffs. ^[129]
• April 7— In the early days of the 2025 stock market crash, the S&P 500 briefly neared bear market—the critical 20% threshold—closing almost 19% below its February 19 record high as optimism faded for a resolution to the escalating global tariff war. ^[130]
  • — Canada requests a second WTO dispute consultation with the U.S. over Trump's decision to impose a 25% duty on cars and car parts from Canada, claiming the measures are inconsistent with U.S. obligations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. ^[131]

• April 10— Global markets experienced a sharp downturn. The S&P 500 dropped approximately 15%, while long-term Treasury bonds faced significant selling pressure. Additionally, the U.S. dollar, traditionally considered a safe-haven asset, weakened amidst the turmoil. The Economist criticized Trump's replacement of the century-old "stable trading relations" with policymaking that is both "whimsical and arbitrary" where social media is the vehicle for announcing decisions and even people who are there to advise him cannot predict his next actions. ^[135]

Consumer Sentiment Index

• April 11— The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index plunged to 50.8, marking the second-lowest level since records began in 1952, surpassing only the 50.0 reading from June 2022, ^{[136] [137]} in response to Trump's "volatile trade war". U.S. consumers displayed a rare level of pessimism about the U.S. economy and the threat of a higher inflation. ^[138]
• April 15 — Canada announces a 6-month pause on tariffs for goods imported from the U.S. that are used in Canadian manufacturing, processing and food and beverage packaging, and for those used to support public health, health care, public safety, and national security objectives. ^[139]

• May 6— Newly-elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met with President Trump in the Oval Office. ^[142] This was their first in-person meeting amid the lowest point in decades for bilateral relations and ongoing trade hostilities. ^[143]
  • — Canada's trade deficit with the United States narrowed to $CA506 million in March, a significant decrease from previous months. Imports fell at a faster rate than the drop in exports. Exports to the U.S. dropped 6.6% in March, marking the second consecutive monthly decline, but this was nearly offset by a 24.8% increase in exports to countries other than the U.S. ^{[144] [145]}

• May 22— In April, Canada exported more seaborne crude oil to China than to the United States for the first time, according to Reuters. ^[146] In response to Trump's tariffs Canada has been diversifying its export markets. At the same time, Canada's Trans Mountain pipeline has significantly increased the country's capacity for seaborne crude exports. With U.S. sanctions on its other heavy crude oil supplier—Venezuela—the U.S. is even more dependent on Canadian crude. ^[146] China has largely halted imports of U.S. crude amid heightened tariffs, while maintaining a 10% levy on American oil rendering U.S. crude as uncompetitive in the Chinese market. ^[146] These developments underscore how U.S. trade policy has led to unintended consequences. ^[146]
• May 28— The United States Court of International Trade ruled in favour of two lawsuits filed by the Liberty Justice Center. One lawsuit was filed on behalf of several small American companies that import goods and the second was on behalf of 13 U.S. states. The Court ruled that Trump's use of emergency powers to apply tariffs was unlawful, emphasizing that tariffs imposed via emergency powers (IEEPA) require a direct link to the declared threat, which the fentanyl-related tariffs lacked. ^{[147] [148]} Duties under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act (25% on steel, 10% on aluminum, and 25% on autos) remain in place, as they were authorized under a separate legal framework. ^[147]

June

• June 3— Trump signed an EO announcing an increase on tariffs on steel and aluminum products from all countries except the United Kingdom, effective June 4, 2025, from 25% to 50%. ^[149]
• June 19— The head of the Canadian Steel Producers Association said the 25% tariffs created a severe setback for Canada’s steel sector with widespread layoffs, reduced investment, and a sharp decline in shipments to the U.S. With the tariff doubling to 50%, the U.S. market would be essentially inaccessible for Canadian steel, leaving billions of dollars’ worth of product without a destination. ^[150]
  • — While Carney and Trump pursue a trade deal within the next 30 days, Carney said that if a deal is not reached by then, he will impose counter-tariffs or adjust existing ones on U.S. steel and aluminum. ^[151]
• June 27— Trump abruptly ended all trade negotiations with Canada and threatened new tariffs, citing the pending implementation on June 30 of a Digital Service Tax (DST) targeting major U.S. technology firms. ^[152]
• June 29— Carney announced that the DST would be cancelled in order to resume trade talks. ^[153]
• June 30— Hassett announced that the United States will resume trade talks with Canada after they cancel their DST on U.S. technology firms.
  • — June 2025 marked a historic shift where Canada increased its automotive imports from Mexico, as a consequence of the trade tensions and tariffs introduced by the Trump administration. ^[154] Based on data from Statistics Canada, because of the tariff war, for the first time since the early 1990s, Canada imported more vehicles from Mexico (CAD $1.08 billion) than from the United States (CAD $950 million). ^[155]

July

• July 10— Despite a notably cordial relationship between Trump and Carney, trade negotiations experienced renewed turbulence. On Thursday evening, Trump threatened to increase tariffs on Canadian goods to 35% starting August 1, 2025. ^[156]
• July 11— In June, Canada’s unemployment rate unexpectedly declined from 7.0% to 6.9% as the economy added 83,000 jobs, marking the first decrease since January despite ongoing U.S. tariffs and trade tensions. ^[157]
• July 31— According to RBC, Canada's economy contracted for two straight months in April and May 2025, largely due to temporary oil sector disruptions, while Statistics Canada’s early estimate for June suggests a modest rebound and hints at weak but positive Q2 growth. Despite significant external pressures such as U.S. tariffs, CUSMA exemptions and steady domestic demand have helped Canada avoid recession and maintain gradual economic expansion through the year. ^[158]

August

• August 1— According to Le Monde, Trump raised tariffs to 35% on Canadian goods not protected by USMCA in response to Carney's plans to recognize a Palestinian state. ^{[159] [160] [161]}
• August 18— The United States significantly expanded its Section 232 tariffs by adding over 400 Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) codes to the existing list of steel and aluminum derivative products. These new tariffs apply immediately, with a 50% ad valorem tariff on the metal content of impacted products. There is no exception for goods already in transit, meaning all affected goods crossing the border are subject to the new rates. ^[162]

September

• September According to a September Anderson Economic Group report, in July 2025, U.S. tariffs on Canadian vehicles and auto parts surged dramatically, with over US$380 million in duties imposed that month, a substantial increase from prior months as previous exemptions under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement largely ended. The portion of Canadian-made vehicles able to enter the U.S. without tariffs fell dramatically from nearly all exports to just over one-third in July. ^[163]

Notes

1. China's trade deficit with the U.S. is eight times higher, and with Mexico, five times higher than the deficit with Canada. ^[3]
2. Ninety percent of Canada's oil is sold to the United States which represents about US$4 million barrels per day. With such a highly integrated energy system between the two countries, "there is no easy way" for the U.S. to replace Canadian oil. Any significant decline in the amount of oil sent to the United States would take years of tariffs according to Enbridge CEO. ^[4] A CRS report "U.S.-Canada Trade Relations" said that the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 caused an increase in global market instability and the rising price of energy, which increased the value of imported Canadian oil. ^{[1] : 1} Toronto Dominion Bank (TD) economists said that many U.S. refineries have specific capacities to process only sour, heavy crude, ^[3] such as—Western Canada Select. Other options for obtaining this feedstock are Mexico and Venezuela—the former have a large trade surplus with the U.S., and Venezuela is under U.S. sanctions. ^[3]
3. According to the Congressional Research Service there was a United States US$41 billion trade deficit with Canada in 2023 with a total trade between the two countries of US$923 billion—with Canada importing US$482 billion of goods and services and the U.S. exporting US$441 billion to Canada. ^[1]
4. The Economist , the Royal Bank of Canada, The Financial Post , NPR, and other news outlets also compared the blanket tariffs announced on February 1 to the Smoot–Hawley Tariffs. ^{[35] [36] [37] [38]}
5. Grievances against Canada unrelated to trade were listed in a memo that Trump referred to in the February 3 phone call with Trudeau. This included potential changes to the Canada–United States border as defined in a 1908 agreement between the United States and Great Britain. Trudeau reminded Trump that since the Constitution Act, 1982 Canada is a sovereign nation. ^[45] Trump said without evidence that American banks cannot operate in Canada. According to Canadian Bankers Association as of 2025, there are 16 American banks operating in Canada. ^[45]
6. A 2023 United States Congressional Research Service (CRS) report "Import Monitoring Systems: Steel and Aluminum", citing the United States Department of Commerce said that Canada is the largest supplier of steel and aluminum to the United States representing 22% of steel imports and 47% of aluminum imports in 2022. ^[49] During Trump's first presidency, his administration's 25% tariff on Canadian steel and a 10 per cent tariff on Canadian aluminum remained in place for a year, ending in 2019. ^[51] See also 2002 United States steel tariff. ^[52]
7. At the northern border with the United States, there are large quantities of drugs and guns coming into Canada—52,400 kilograms (115,500 lb) of "prohibited drugs, cannabis, narcotics and chemicals" along with over "930 firearms and 17,200 prohibited weapons", in 2024 alone. ^[60] In contrast less than 1% of the fentanyl enter the United States from Canada. ^[27]
8. The United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) went into effect on July 1, 2020, ^[78] updated the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement. ^[79] The negotiations and signing of USMCA during his first term as president was considered to be a victory for Trump as it fulfilled a key campaign promise. ^[80] In 2020, Trump said that, "The USMCA is the largest, most significant, modern, and balanced trade agreement in history. All of our countries will benefit greatly." ^[81] The Office of the United States Trade Representative's official Fact Sheet said that USMCA "will support mutually beneficial trade leading to freer markets, fairer trade, and robust economic growth in North America." ^[82] The region covered by USMCA is one of the world's largest free trade zones. ^[83]
9. In the week of March 7 the Dollar Index (DXY) fell 4.2% which represented the steepest decline since the 2008 financial crisis in response to the implementation of tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods. ^[87] This ran counter to the goals of the Trump administration. As the value of the dollar declined, the Canadian dollar and the Mexican peso strengthened, and European currencies, like the euro surged. ^[87] By March 13 the USD had fallen more than 5.5% since mid-January when it had reach a 2-year high. ^[88] In the week of April 7, the U.S. dollar reached a 3-year low against the euro amid growing unease over Trump's unpredictable tariff policies. Despite rising U.S. Treasury bond yields, the dollar's divergence from the bonds suggests investors may be shifting assets abroad due to concerns about trade policy impacts. ^[89]
10. Canada imposes high tariffs of up to 241% on certain dairy products structured on a sliding scale that only applies after U.S. dairy exports reach a specific quota—a level that has never been met due to Canada's supply management system for its domestic dairy industry which has been a source of frustration to some American dairy farmers and politicians. However, the International Dairy Foods Association has raised concerns that a prolonged tariff war would have a detrimental effect on United States' dairy farmers and processors. In 2023, a trade dispute panel ruled in favor of Canada, determining that these high import taxes did not violate the USMCA. Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin, criticized the ruling saying that it unfairly burdened her state's dairy industry. Forty percent of American dairy products were sold to Canada or Mexico. ^[174]
11. To qualify under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), a vehicle must contain at least 75% North American parts by value. Approximately 90% of U.S. and Canadian vehicles currently meet this standard. Canada's retaliatory tariffs apply differently based on compliance: CUSMA-compliant vehicles: A 25% levy targets only the non-Canadian components (e.g., 40% of a car's value being U.S.-made would face tariffs on that 40%). Non-compliant vehicles: The full 25% tariff applies to the entire vehicle. Manufacturers must document the origin and value of every component, a process acknowledged as administratively burdensom. ^[178]

Right now a Caravan coming from Mexico, composed of thousands of people, seems to be unstoppable in its quest to come through our currently Open Border. On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders. This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!
