US President Donald Trump hit Canada with a baseline 35 percent tariff.
This latest trade war growth only applies to the goods not covered on free trade by the Canada-United States US-Maxico Agreement, known as Kusma.
The latest levy on Friday made effective on Friday after failing to hit the August 1 deadline to secure a new trade agreement.
Carney said in a press conference in BC yesterday that he has not spoken to Trump in recent times, but with him “when it makes sense.”
The Prime Minister said that about 85 percent of the trade with the US remains tariff-free due to Kusma.
Steel, aluminum and copper live in sectoral tariffs, like 50 percent of the duty, live in place.
