Canada will not be subject to a newly imposed 10% US tariff on most countries' imports, as confirmed by Canada's ambassador to the US, Kirsten Hillman.
The Trump administration initially announced a 10% tariff on products from US trading partners, excluding China due to retaliatory tariffs (increased to 125%). However, confusion arose when US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested Canada and Mexico would be included.
Ambassador Hillman clarified that Canada remains exempt from this specific 10% levy, though existing tariffs imposed by the Trump administration remain in effect. This means Canadian imports are not subject to the newly added 10% tariff.
