The trade deadline approaches fast—are more Trump tariffs coming?

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the high-stakes negotiations Canada faces as the deadline for potential 50 percent tariffs from the U.S looms. They examine whether the sides remain far apart or if public positioning is strategic theatre, and the political calculations facing both Prime Minister Carney and President Trump. They also explore worst-case scenarios, including Canadian retaliatory tariffs and whether Canada should make major concessions or leverage Trump's political vulnerabilities heading into midterm elections amid broader geopolitical pressures.The Hub is Canada’s fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub’s podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple) https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Alisha Rao - Producer and Editor Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - HostsChristopher Katsarov/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.
