AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoCanada–U.S. Trade War: Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on about $20B (US) in American goods kicked in just after midnight Tuesday, with duties from 15% to 50% hitting items like steel and aluminum (50%), plus cheese, appliances, clothing, and electronics—an escalation after talks collapsed. Bombardier Pressure: Hours before the tariff start, Donald Trump renewed threats to block Bombardier jet sales in the U.S. unless the company builds there; Bombardier says it already has a major U.S. footprint and supply chain. Political Fallout: Prime Minister Mark Carney framed the move as protecting Canadian workers and independence, while U.S. and Canadian officials trade blame and the broader U.S.-Mexico-Canada deal faces uncertainty. Geopolitics Beyond Trade: Iran accused Canada of “submission” to U.S. pressure over Ottawa’s stance on Hormuz and sanctions. Climate & Health: The UN’s weather agency warned extreme wildfire smoke events have tripled since the 1990s, adding nearly 100,000 deaths per year (2010–2018).
