Trump tariffs disappoint premiers, but most exports are duty-free

US President Trump imposed higher tariffs on Canadian goods, disappointing Alberta and Saskatchewan premiers. Most Canadian exports remain duty-free under the CUSMA trade agreement, which covers 95% of Saskatchewan's exports and the vast majority of Alberta's. Tariffs of 35% now apply to non-compliant goods, with existing tariffs on steel, copper, automobiles, and lumber remaining in place.
