After more than half a year, the ongoing tariff dispute between Canada and the United States shows no sign of ending.
Since early 2025, the United States has imposed, suspended, reinstated and changed tariffs on goods coming from Canada.
Canada香蕉视频直播檚 federal government has responded with retaliatory tariffs, legal challenges, relief for the hardest-hit sectors of the economy and talks with the United States.
Now, more than half a year after the tariff battles began, the dispute with Canada香蕉视频直播檚 closest neighbour and largest trading partner continues.
More than two-thirds of Canada香蕉视频直播檚 trade is with the United States, and more than three-quarters of Canadian exports go to the United States. As a result, any changes affecting trade between the two countries will have a noticeable effect in Canada.
Prices of goods and materials are affected by tariffs, making budgeting and investment planning difficult.
Canada is not the only country affected by recent tariff announcements from the U.S. At least 60 countries have been working to respond.
The U.S. tariff policy with Canada has changed numerous times this year. As a result, there is no way for businesses to make appropriate plans. And despite the numerous talks, nothing resembling a solid agreement has been reached 香蕉视频直播� despite the fact that the American president has prided himself on being an excellent deal-maker.
In the past, the two countries have enjoyed a close and friendly relationship, but that relationship has changed.
As the dispute continues, Canadians香蕉视频直播� perception of the United States has been changing.
In a Pew Research Center poll from July, 55 per cent of Canadians surveyed said the U.S. is Canada香蕉视频直播檚 top ally, but 59 per cent said the U.S. is Canada香蕉视频直播檚 greatest threat. That survey also showed 76 per cent of Canadians surveyed believe the U.S. president is dangerous.
An Ipsos poll, conducted in late June and released in July, showed 77 per cent of those surveyed think less of the U.S. because of the American president香蕉视频直播檚 threats against Canada.
While there is an ongoing level of frustration as a result of U.S. policy, Canada is still working to negotiate suitable trade agreements, and the nation's leaders are working to take a calm, measured approach.
However, no matter what happens next and no matter how the present dispute is resolved, the once easygoing relationship Canada and the United States once enjoyed will be replaced with a more cautious tone.
