Art of the Tariff: What Trump Wants from Canada and Implications of a Global Trade War

Dr. Aaron Ettinger, Dan Ciuriak, Douglas Porter, & Dr. Erick Duchesne

In today’s Expert Series episode, we meet with Dr. Aaron Ettinger, Dan Ciuriak, Douglas Porter, and Dr. Erick Duchesne to discuss U.S. tariffs on Canadian exports, including the potential for broader tariffs on non-energy goods, as well as the ongoing negotiations between Canadian officials and U.S. policymakers.

The panel explores the economic nationalism driving U.S. tariff strategies and Canada’s responses, which include efforts to diversify trade relationships, retaliatory tariffs, and strengthening its economic resilience. Together, our guests examine the potential impact on key sectors in Canada and consider the broader global implications of these tariffs, including how they may contribute to a shift toward protectionism and alter global trade dynamics. As a whole, this discussion highlights the challenges Canada faces in reducing its reliance on the U.S. market while navigating an increasingly fragmented global economy.
