What happened

Well supportedReported by 15 independent outlets

Reciprocal tariffs on $28 billion worth of U.S. goods are taking effect between Canada and the United States under the current trade war conditions. U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war with Canada has been accompanied by a storm of misinformation from his cabinet. Prime Minister Mark Carney has been involved in major decisions regarding Canada’s international trade deals, procurement, and energy policy, including the decision to walk away from trade talks with the United States.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The trade conflict is placing significant pressure on the Canadian government and its international agreements. U.S. trade is vital to the Canadian economy, representing approximately 15 per cent of the country's GDP. Furthermore, about 70 per cent of Canada’s exports still flow to the U.S.

The trade war began after Trump launched aggressive trade policies against Canada, leading to economic fallout and domestic purchasing shifts.
