Trump Imposes 35% Tariffs on Canada Starting August 1

It was the latest of more than 20 such letters issued by Trump since Monday, after he repeatedly threatened to simply decide a tariff rate for countries as negotiations continue over his “reciprocal” tariffs

US President Donald Trump on Friday announced 35 per cent tariffs on Canadian exports, to take effect from August 1. Canada is the latest country to receive a letter from Trump addressed to Prime Minister Mark Carney.

“Instead of working with the United States, Canada retaliated with its own Tariffs. Starting August 1, 2025, we will charge Canada a Tariff of 35% on Canadian products sent into the United States, separate from all Sectoral Tariffs,” Trump said in the letter, which he posted on his Truth Social platform.

It was the latest of more than 20 such letters issued by Trump since Monday, after he repeatedly threatened to simply decide a tariff rate for countries as negotiations continue over his “reciprocal” tariffs.
