Saskatchewan braces for impact as Trump plans 25 percent tariff on Canadian goods

U.S. president-elect Donald Trump plans to impose a 25 percent tariff on all products from Canada and Mexico. This announcement has raised concerns in Saskatchewan, where exports to the U.S. reached $26.9 billion in 2023. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe stated that the tariffs would harm the province's export-driven economy and increase prices. The provincial government is engaging with the incoming U.S. administration to address these issues. Producers at the Canadian Western Agribition expressed uncertainty about the tariff's impact. They noted potential negative effects on agriculture and other industries, emphasizing the need for more information before reacting.
