JUST IN: Canada will face a 35 percent tariff on exports to the United States starting 1 August, President Donald Trump said Thursday in a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney.
It was the latest of more than 20 such letters issued by Trump since Monday, after he repeatedly threatened to simply decide a tariff rate for countries as negotiations continue over his "reciprocal" tariffs.
"Instead of working with the United States, Canada retaliated with its own Tariffs. Starting 1 August 2025, we will charge Canada a Tariff of 35% on Canadian products sent into the United States, separate from all Sectoral Tariffs," Trump said in the letter, which he posted on his Truth Social platform. | Agence France-Presse, photos: Andrew Caballero-Reynolds, Dave Chan / AFP
