Cross-border truckers are feeling the squeeze as new U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods spark fresh trade tensions between the two neighbors. 🛑 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 – 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. 🚛💸 The situation highlights how global trade policies hit Main Street businesses – or in this case, Highway 401 businesses.
