Cross-border truckers are feeling the squeeze as new U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods spark fresh trade tensions between the two neighbors. ๐ President Donald Trump's latest executive order adds fuel to a simmering economic dispute, with logistics companies warning of rising costs and delivery delays.
"This isn't just about steel and aluminum anymore โ it's about every package, pallet, and produce shipment crossing the border," one anonymous trucking executive told CGTN. The tariffs come as supply chains already face post-pandemic pressures, creating a perfect storm for the $700 billion annual trade relationship.
While both nations continue talks, industry analysts predict ripple effects could impact everything from auto parts deliveries to grocery prices. ๐๐ธ The situation highlights how global trade policies hit Main Street businesses โ or in this case, Highway 401 businesses.
