As the deadline approaches, President Donald Trump indicated that a deal with Canada is progressing. Reportedly, the US may reduce tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum from 50% to 25% and on Canadian automobiles from 25% to 15%. Additionally, Canada might allow greater access for American dairy producers and lift its retaliatory tariffs. Experts estimate Canada could lose 90,000 jobs if a 50% tariff proposed by Trump is implemented. This matters for ordinary investors as changes in trade terms can significantly impact market stability and economic conditions in both countries.
