What to know

  • Trump imposed tariffs on $20 billion in Canadian products, reversing his 2020 claim that the USMCA deal was "the best agreement we ever made."
  • Canada is the largest import source in nearly half of U.S. states; Connecticut alone imported $5.7 billion in Canadian goods in 2025 (24% of total imports).
  • The tariffs are expected to burden American consumers and companies rather than Canadian exporters, according to analysts.

“In almost half of states, Canada is the largest source of imports by value. In 15 states, imports from Canada made up at least 25% of the 2025 total. But I'm sure these tariffs will be great.”
