Can Canada Still Trust America on Trade?
Canada faces a potential trade agreement with the US that would require significant concessions, including easing retaliation measures, reopening provincial alcohol markets to US products, and aligning on digital policy issues. While the deal could prevent new US tariffs, existing tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automotive products would remain at reduced levels, representing a major departure from Canada's previous stance that such tariffs violate the USMCA. The agreement reflects strained trade relations between the two countries and potential risks to North American supply chains.

This potential shift reflects the ongoing tension in US-Canada trade relations and could have implications for both nations' economies, particularly the auto supply chain.
