Trump imposes 50% tariff on Canada; Michigan has 30 days before the pain hits

President Trump has imposed a 50 percent tariff on most Canadian goods, citing unfair trade practices, with the tariffs set to take effect in 30 days, allowing time for negotiations. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer expressed concern about the impact on Michigan’s manufacturing and agricultural economy, warning of both short-term pain and long-term consequences. Questions have arisen about whether the tariffs could further delay the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge, with local experts and officials discussing potential effects on supply chains and costs for families.
