Canada imposes increased tariffs in response to U.S.'s actions affecting 92 countries

In recent developments, Prime Minister Mark Carney has addressed the impact of the United States' increased tariffs on Canadian energy exports.

The tariffs, which went into effect on August 1, affect 92 countries worldwide, including Canada. However, it appears that most energy equipment imports to Canada are not directly affected by these tariffs.

The increased tariffs primarily impact Canadian energy exports such as oil, gas, uranium, and electricity. Prime Minister Carney has expressed concern over this situation and has emphasized the importance of using Canadian resources to benefit all Canadians.

In an effort to support the domestic market, Prime Minister Carney has encouraged the building of infrastructure with Canadian workers. He believes this approach will benefit the domestic market and reinforce the use of Canadian resources.

Canada's counter tariffs have mainly avoided most energy equipment imports. This means that the cost of these imports to Canadian consumers should remain relatively unchanged.

Prime Minister Carney has also stated that Canada will continue to negotiate with the US on its trading relationship. He aims to reassure the domestic market that the government is working diligently to mitigate the impact of these tariffs on the Canadian economy.

In related news, the US tariffs on Canadian exports, excluding those under the Canada-US-Mexico agreement, remain at 35%. It is unclear whether these tariffs will be revised in the future.
