Saskatchewan farmers and exporters express concern over Trump's tariff threat on Canadian goods

Saskatchewan farmers and exporters are concerned about Donald Trump's recent threat to impose a 25% tariff on goods imported from Canada. The uncertainty surrounding this potential tariff is already affecting market stability and the value of the Canadian dollar. Farmers like Kaitlyn Kitzan worry about the impact on grain pricing and market access. Chris Dekker, from the Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership, noted that while the tariffs could create barriers, Saskatchewan's key exports, such as crude oil and potash, are essential to the U.S. economy. Brett Spray, another farmer, expressed concerns that the tariffs would affect all sectors, not just agriculture. Many hope Trump's threat is merely a negotiating tactic and that the federal government will provide support if the tariffs are enacted.
