Just one day after announcing a temporary exemption on certain \u2064imports from Canada\u2062 and Mexico,Trump hinted at imposing new tariffs on Canada,arguing that the country has been unfairly benefiting from \u2064high tariffs on U.S. lumber and dairy products. He mentioned\u2062 that if Canada does not reduce \u2062its\u2063 tariffs,the U.S. will \u200creact with reciprocal tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>Despite economists warning \u200babout the\u2063 potential recessionary \u2063effects of these trade policies,\u200d Trump has postponed the implementation of tariffs multiple times. His actions have also had political implications in \u2064Canada,leading to increased popularity for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau&#8217;s Liberal \u200bParty ahead \u200dof \u2062the upcoming\u2062 elections.
