A wave of opposition is rising on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border as President Donald Trump’s new tariffs on Canadian goods threaten to disrupt trade and devastate local economies.
Lawmakers from both parties in the U.S., along with Canadian officials, warn that the tariffs—set to rise to 35%—are already hurting small businesses, agriculture, and border communities, especially in Washington state and British Columbia. Business leaders report significant losses and uncertainty, with many calling the trade war an economic 'ticking time bomb.' Efforts are underway in both countries to push back against the tariffs, with calls for legislative action and cross-border cooperation.
The ongoing dispute risks long-term damage to one of North America’s most important trading relationships.
