Imposing Duties To Address the Flow of Illicit Drugs Across Our Northern Border

What it means

Imposes a 25% tariff on most Canadian goods and a 10% tariff on Canadian energy imports, citing Canada's alleged failure to stop drug trafficking across the northern border. The order claims fentanyl and other drugs entering from Canada pose a national security threat.

Expected impact

• Likely price increases on Canadian imports including lumber, automotive parts, and agricultural products
• Potential economic strain on US-Canada trade relations worth over $600 billion annually
• Possible retaliatory tariffs from Canada against US exports
• Increased border security measures and cooperation on drug trafficking enforcement
• Financial pressure on Canadian government to enhance anti-drug trafficking efforts
