Trump: Places additional 25% tariffs on Canada

update 2025.03.12 00:04

The US President Donald Trump revealed on this Truth Social account that he is imposing an additional 25% tariff, to 50% on aluminum and steel imports from Canada to the US. He added it would go into effect on March 12 morning.

Trump's condition for removing tariffs is that Canada drop farm tariffs of 250% to 390% on various US dairy products, as shown in his post. He added that he would declare a national emergency on electricity in New York, Michigan, and Minnesota after Ontario's premier imposed 25% tariffs on electricity.

Moreover, he threatens to apply duties on cars on April 2.

Market's reaction

The USD/CAD rallied from 1.4410 to 1.4477 before clearing the 1.4500 psychological figure, with buyers eyeing March's peak at 1.4542.
