A long-standing economic partnership

Tariffs cost everyone. But when we work together, everyone wins.

Canada has an abundance of the materials and resources the United States needs for economic growth, including:

  • potash
  • oil
  • gas
  • uranium

Our shared history, reliability and partnership have led to prosperity on both sides of the border. Tariffs threaten that progress.

Tariffs impact Americans in their everyday lives and have harsh and immediate effects, including:

  • higher cost of living on items, from gas to groceries
  • job losses for American workers
  • stock market uncertainty
