What is the new deadline for U.S. tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, and how do these tariffs differ from previous ones under USMCA?

The new deadline for U.S. tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods is 12:01 a.m. ET (0401 GMT) on Saturday. Unlike previous tariffs, these would apply regardless of whether the goods qualify for preferential treatment under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

What are the key unresolved issues in U.S.-Canada auto tariff negotiations, particularly regarding tariff rates and scope?

Key unresolved issues include whether the 25% U.S. tariff on imported Canadian vehicles and parts will be cut to Canada’s proposed 10% or the U.S. offer of 15%; whether the value of regional content (from Mexico, the U.S., or Canada) — or only U.S. components — can be deducted from the tariff; and whether reductions will apply to all vehicles (including medium- and heavy-duty) or only passenger cars and trucks.
