A wave of bipartisan opposition is mounting against President Donald Trump's plan to impose steep tariffs—up to 35%—on Canadian goods, with lawmakers and business leaders warning of severe economic fallout for both sides of the border. Washington state and British Columbia are particularly hard-hit, as small businesses, agriculture, tourism, and marine industries report significant losses and uncertainty. Local officials and senators argue that the tariffs are damaging vital cross-border relationships, driving up costs, and threatening jobs, while Canadian leaders warn that retaliatory measures could worsen the situation. Efforts are underway in the U.S. Senate to exempt small businesses from the tariffs, but many fear lasting harm if the trade war escalates. The situation has led to calls for urgent action and renewed cooperation to prevent further economic damage.
