AI Explanation
President Trump has imposed higher tariffs on Canada, raising them to 35 percent from 25 percent, with the new rate taking immediate effect. In contrast, Mexico has received a 90-day reprieve from new tariffs pending further negotiations. This disparity in treatment towards America's two closest trading partners has raised concerns in Canada. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's objective of eliminating U.S. tariffs and restoring free trade with Canada, as envisioned in a previous agreement, has been thwarted by these new measures, resetting the timeline for trade negotiations.
