贸易政策重大转向！加拿大宣布撤销对美大部分报复性关税

Group 1 - Canada will eliminate retaliatory tariffs on most US products that comply with the USMCA, effective September 1, in an effort to ease tensions with the White House [1] - The tariffs of 25% on a wide range of consumer goods from the US will be lifted, but Canada will maintain tariffs on US steel, aluminum, and automobiles [1] - This policy shift comes after a phone call between Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Trump, who welcomed the decision and expressed a desire for friendly cooperation [1] Group 2 - The Canadian dollar strengthened against the US dollar following the announcement, trading at 1.382 CAD per USD [2] - Canada initially imposed 25% tariffs on approximately 30 billion CAD (21.7 billion USD) worth of US products, which included various consumer goods, and later expanded the scope to include tools and sports equipment [2] - Analysts believe the removal of tariffs could alleviate price pressures and create conditions for the Bank of Canada to resume a rate-cutting cycle [2] Group 3 - Canada’s economy is heavily reliant on trade with the US, with Canadian exports to the US accounting for three-quarters of total exports, primarily in oil and gas, and representing about one-third of Canada’s GDP [3] - The average tariff level on Canadian goods is currently around 5.5%, significantly higher than in previous free trade environments, indicating a need for strategic adjustments in trade negotiations with the US [3]
