Trump's trade war with Canada: A timeline of how we got here
- President Trump has imposed tariffs on Canadian goods, straining U.S.-Canada relations.
- Recent tariffs include a 50% tax on $20 billion worth of Canadian imports.
- Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney has promised retaliatory measures against U.S. tariffs.
- Trump's tariffs have led to uncertainty for businesses and consumers on both sides of the border.
- The trade tensions have escalated since Trump's second term began in 2025.
President Donald Trump’s administration has enacted a series of tariffs on Canadian imports, significantly impacting the long-standing relationship between the United States and Canada. The trade war escalated during Trump's second term, with threats and actual tariffs creating a climate of uncertainty for businesses and consumers on both sides of the border.
In early 2025, Trump announced a 25% tariff on Canadian goods, citing a national emergency related to immigration and drug trafficking. This led to retaliatory tariffs from Canada, amounting to approximately $20.7 billion on U.S. imports, further inflaming tensions.
Most recently, Trump followed through on a threat to impose a 50% tariff on $20 billion worth of Canadian imports, which took effect after negotiations failed. In response, Prime Minister Mark Carney pledged to match these tariffs, indicating a continued cycle of retaliatory measures between the two nations.
特朗普与加拿大的贸易战：我们如何走到这一步的时间线
特朗普政府对加拿大进口商品实施了一系列关税，显著影响了美加之间长期以来的关系。贸易战在特朗普的第二任期内升级，威胁和实际的关税为两国企业和消费者创造了不确定的环境。
2025年初，特朗普宣布对加拿大商品征收25%的关税，理由是与移民和毒品贩运有关的国家紧急状态。这导致加拿大对美国进口商品征收约207亿美元的报复性关税，进一步加剧了紧张局势。
最近，特朗普兑现了对价值200亿美元的加拿大进口商品征收50%关税的威胁，该关税在谈判失败后生效。作为回应，加拿大总理马克·卡尼承诺将匹配这些关税，表明两国之间的报复性措施将持续进行。
