AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoCanada-U.S. Trade War: Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on about $20B of U.S. goods kicked in just after midnight, with duties from 15% to 50% hitting items like steel, appliances, dairy, clothing and electronics—an escalation after talks collapsed and both sides traded blame. Bombardier Pressure: As tariffs roll out, Donald Trump renewed threats to block Bombardier jet sales in the U.S. unless the company builds there; Bombardier says it already supports tens of thousands of U.S. jobs through its footprint and supply chain. Quebec Response: Quebec announced measures to diversify its economy and protect local businesses as the trade fight intensifies, with a special cabinet meeting called by Premier Christine Fréchette. Diplomacy Reset: Canada restarted defence coordination talks with China after more than eight years, aiming to keep military-to-military communications open. Iran Tensions: Iran reproached Canada over its stance on Hormuz and sanctions, accusing Ottawa of yielding to U.S. pressure.
