The US has yet to implement new tariffs on Canada.

According to Politico on November 23, US President Donald Trump has yet to carry out his warning to impose an additional 10% tariff on imports from Canada, 4 weeks after he stopped “all trade negotiations” because of an anti-tariff ad aired by the province of Ontario during the MLB World Series.

After announcing that he was ending trade talks because the ad was deemed “extremely objectionable,” President Trump wrote on the social network Truth Social on October 25 that “because of their egregious misrepresentation of the truth and their hostile actions, I am raising the Tariff on Canada by 10% above what they are currently paying.”

President Trump's announcement has Canadian exporters bracing for the worst-case scenario: an additional tariff on top of existing double-digit tariffs, which would be particularly painful for industries like autos, whose components are shipped across the border before they reach the final product.

But so far, the Trump administration has not sent any formal documents asking US Customs and Border Protection to enforce the new tariffs, and US importers have not yet received guidance on the new regulations.

The White House did not say whether it still planned to impose tariffs when asked for comment. But another US official said the Trump administration had opted to hold off on the additional tariffs — which would have raised the duty on Canadian goods to 45% — and instead continue to use the warning as the two sides prepare for future negotiations.

Flavio Volpe, president of the Canadian Automotive Components Manufacturers Association, which controls more than 90% of Canada’s independent parts production, said they regularly monitor the federal gazette and executive orders and have not seen any changes. Volpe said a personal intervention by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in Asia last month may have helped calm the situation.

Speaking to Canadian business leaders in Ottawa on November 19, U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra continued his criticism of Ontario’s ad. Hoekstra said trade talks with Canada would restart, but warned “it won’t be easy.” He did not mention the additional 10% tariff or whether it was still under consideration.

The US and Canada have a free trade agreement under a deal Trump negotiated during his first term. But the US president still raised tariffs on imports from Canada earlier this year, citing the country’s role in the flow of fentanyl into the US, and also imposed double-digit tariffs on sectors such as steel, aluminum, autos and lumber. However, the US government has exempted shipments that meet the conditions of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which covers the majority of Canadian goods exported to the US.

Prime Minister Carney and President Trump expressed optimism about progress in negotiations to reduce the tariffs when Mr. Carney visited the White House in October. But U.S. government officials privately complained that the Carney government was dragging its feet and refusing to make concessions. The White House was particularly upset with Canada’s efforts to be exempt from U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs.

Canadian Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc told reporters in Montreal last week that he is ready to return to the negotiating table when President Trump is ready, aiming to reach a good deal for both Canadian and American workers.
