QatarThe ongoing trade conflict between the United States and Canada, initiated under former U.S. President Donald Trump, has raised concerns about potential economic harm to both nations. Experts suggest that Canada may suffer greater economic consequences due to its reliance on U.S. trade, with the U.S. imposing 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods and threatening further tariffs on car products. In response, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced retaliatory measures targeting over $20 billion in U.S. products, with tariffs ranging from 15% to 50%. While the overall impact on Canada's economy is projected to be modest, estimated at a 0.3 percentage point reduction in GDP, the effects could be severe for certain provinces and industries, particularly manufacturers and exporters dependent on U.S. markets. Analysts warn of potential job losses, with estimates suggesting up to 100,000 jobs could be impacted.
