US President Donald Trump has announced that all imports from Canada will have a 35% tariff as of August 1. He sent a letter to the country’s president, Mark Carney, informing him of the new rate, which has also been posted on his Truth Social account.

The pause on the biggest of Trump's tariffs won't end this week, but the president continues to pledge steep new duties against major countries.

President Donald Trump late Thursday threatened a 35% tariff on goods imported from Canada, a dramatic escalation in an on-again, off-again trade war with America’s northern neighbor and one of its most important trading partners.
