NEW YORK, July 11 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday announced the imposition of a 35 percent tariff on imports from Canada starting Aug. 1.
D. Trump posted on the social network Truth Social the text of a letter addressed to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, in which he criticized the country for its retaliatory measures to previous American tariffs.
He noted that the new tariff was partly due to the flow of fentanyl from Canada, as well as alleged unfair trade practices. The president said he would “consider adjusting” the tariffs if Canada cooperated with the U.S. to stop the flow of fentanyl.
The letter used language similar to that sent to leaders of more than 20 countries earlier this week, warning against retaliation, urging companies to relocate to the United States and promising to adjust tariffs if countries cooperate.
The Trump administration previously imposed 25 percent tariffs on Canadian goods but later exempted products covered by the U.S.-Canada-Mexico trade agreement. –0–
