Potential Tariffs from Trump Could Threaten Canada-U.S. Trade

Economists warn that proposed tariffs by Donald Trump could lead to significant economic disruptions for both Canada and the United States.

  • The Canadian Chamber of Commerce report highlights the risk of a recession in Canada if Trump imposes a 10% tariff on all imports to the U.S.
  • Both Canadian and U.S. economies could face substantial losses, with Canadian GDP potentially dropping by 1.7% by 2028.
  • Key sectors like energy and automotive could see significant export declines, impacting jobs and productivity.
  • Trump's tariff plan could result in $800 annual income loss per person in both countries, with wider global trade repercussions if retaliatory tariffs occur.
  • While Kamala Harris' trade policies pose challenges, they are seen as less disruptive compared to Trump's aggressive tariff proposals.
