The U.S. will levy a 35% tariff on imports from Canada, effective Aug. 1, according to a letter President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social Thursday evening.
The letter, addressed to Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney, is the latest in a series of missives Trump has shared this week detailing the country-specific reciprocal tariffs his administration plans to impose on Aug. 1.
While most of the other letters have had identical language, Trump’s message to Canada drew attention to the country’s retaliatory tariffs to 25% levies the U.S. announced in February. The president also highlighted the importation of fentanyl and tariffs on U.S. dairy products as other challenges necessitating the tariffs.
