AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoCanada–U.S. Trade War: Canada’s retaliatory tariffs kicked in Tuesday on about C$27.6B (US$20B) of American imports, with duties of 15%, 25% and 50% hitting sectors like steel and aluminum, dairy (including cheese), appliances, electronics, and some agricultural goods—while Ottawa says it’s matching Washington “dollar for dollar” after talks stalled. Bombardier Pressure: The tariff rollout comes as Trump escalated pressure on Bombardier, threatening to block sales of Canadian-built jets in the U.S. unless the company builds in America; Bombardier pushed back by pointing to its U.S. jobs and supplier footprint, and Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran urged the administration to consider Bombardier’s role in Wichita. Broader Fallout: Economists warn the new duties will raise costs for everyday items in Canada, and the standoff adds uncertainty for the wider North American trade framework. Geopolitics & Energy: Argentina filed a criminal complaint over Falklands-area drilling involving Canadian firms, while Iran hit back at Canada over statements on Hormuz, calling it “strategic confusion.”
