Trump announced sweeping new tariffs on 60 trade partners as existing duties expire. Economists and allies warn the move will disrupt global commerce, with Canada preparing a retaliatory boycott strategy.
Trump announced tariffs targeting 60 trading partners as existing duties expire, with economists warning the move will disrupt global supply chains. Canada is already preparing a retaliatory boycott strategy in response.
The scope here is massive—60 countries means this isn't a targeted dispute, it's a broad reordering of trade relationships. Allies like Canada aren't waiting to negotiate; they're prepping counterattacks. When trading partners move to boycotts rather than negotiation, it signals they see this as a structural break, not a bargaining tactic. The tariff wave will hit prices consumers pay and could complicate business planning for months, since companies won't know the final cost structure of imports until duties stabilize—if they stabilize.
