Canada, retaliatory tariffs and trade pact
Digest more
Canada will remove many retaliatory import tariffs on U.S. goods and intensify talks with the United States on striking a new trade and security relationship, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Friday.
The change will go into effect on Sept. 1, Carney added, saying he believes Canada has the best trade deal out of all of the countries working with the U.S.
Under that scenario, headline inflation would stay below 2% until late 2026. The Bank of Canada sets interest rates to achieve and maintain 2% inflation. “The removal of retaliatory tariffs on many products should help quell any lingering concerns at the Bank of Canada about tariff-induced inflation,” Mendes said.
