In the letter published on its social media platform, Trump told Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney that the new rate will take effect 1. Augusta and will increase if Canada returns.
In publication on Xu late Thursday, Carney stated that his government would continue to defend Canadian workers and companies in negotiations with the US while working on fulfilling that deadline.
Customs of 35% is an increase compared to the current rate of 25%, which Trump determined Canada and represented by Carney, who tried to arrange the Trade Agreement with Washington.
The exemption for goods covered by the Trade Agreement between the United States, Mexico and Canada would remain in force, and the customs of 10% on energy and fertilizer will also not be changed, although Trump did not make the final decision on these issues, the administration official said.
Trump complained about what he called the flow of Fentanila from Canada, as well as the customs and non-tariffs of the country’s trading barriers and others. He said that the trade deficit is a threat to the American economy and national security.
– If Canada cooperated with me to stop the flow of Fentanil, we may consider adapting this letter – wrote Trump.
Canadian officials say that a small amount of Fentanila comes from Canada, but that they have taken measures to strengthen the border.
