Canada not affected by Trump’s looming deadline for trade deals
WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump says he will be sending letters to countries around the world today as he seeks trade deals — but Canada is not being affected by Wednesday’s tariff deadline.
On Sunday, Trump said he’s sending correspondence to up to 15 countries hit by the president’s “Liberation Day” duties, telling them he will impose a tariff rate if there’s no trade deal.
Members of Trump’s administration have said those tariffs would go into effect in August.
Trump took his trade war to the world in April but walked back the most devastating duties a few hours later, setting a 90-day deadline to make deals.
