35% The US imposes a 35% tariff on Canada, experts say Trump is creating new negotiation leverage.

On July 10th, local time, President Trump announced that starting from August 1st, a 35% tariff will be imposed on goods imported from Canada. This tariff rate is higher than the previously announced 25% tariff on Canadian goods by the Trump administration. Regarding the higher 35% tariff, Liu Jiangyun, a part-time researcher at the Canadian Research Center of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and an international political risk analyst, analyzed to reporters that this move may be Trump's "follow-up attack" against Canada. Earlier, under the threat of Trump stopping negotiations, Canada quickly canceled the originally planned digital service tax on American companies, leading Trump to believe that his threatening strategy was effective, and now he is increasing tariffs to force Canada to make further concessions. Liu Jiangyun also stated that this argument shows that Canadian-U.S. trade negotiations have entered a "deep water zone," with both sides likely to be deadlocked on core issues such as dairy products and steel and aluminum tariffs. Therefore, Trump proactively increasing tariffs is to create new negotiation leverage for himself.
