US President Donald Trump has announced that all imports from Canada will have a 35% tariff as of August 1. He sent a letter to the country’s president, Mark Carney, informing him of the new rate, which has also been posted on his Truth Social account.

The president said the blanket 35% would be on top of tariffs on certain sectors. That’s higher than the previous 25% rate.

Trump threatened to escalate tariffs beyond 35% if Canada opts to retaliate with tariffs on U.S. goods. Canadian goods are also subject to sector-specific tariffs, such as 50% levies on steel and aluminum as well as 25% tariffs on non-USMCA compliant autos and auto parts.

In a letter released on his social media platform, Donald Trump told Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney the new rate would go into effect on August 1 and would go up if Canada retaliated.

President Donald Trump threatened a 35% tariff on some Canadian goods and raised the prospect of increasing levies on most other countries, ramping up his trade rhetoric in comments that weighed on stocks and boosted the US dollar.

The president revived his discredited claims about fentanyl entering the U.S. from Canada to justify his latest proposed rate of 35 percent.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will keep working toward a new trade framework with the United States despite U.S.

President Donald Trump said the U.S. will impose a 35% tariff on all Canadian goods from Aug. 1 and threatened a blanket 15 to 20% levy on most other nations.

US stocks fell on Friday after President Donald Trump threatened a 35% tariff on Canada — a sharp escalation in an ongoing trade war.

The deadline for the duties to go into effect are still three weeks, which may mean the announcements could be a negotiating move.
