HOUSTON, TEXAS (Editors at Energy Analytics Institute, 1.Feb.2025) — The Canadian American Business Council (CABC) strongly opposes tariffs imposed on Canadian goods as revealed by US president Donald Trump since the action will negatively impact jobs, businesses, and consumers in the US and Canada, the council said.
“The United States and Canada share one of the world’s most successful economic partnerships, built on decades of collaboration, trust, and mutually beneficial trade. We are each other’s largest trade partners with $2.7bn (CAD$3.6bn) worth of goods and services crossing the border each day in 2023. This relationship facilitates our mutual competitive advantage, domestic job security, and resilience,” CABC CEO Beth Burke said 1 Feb. 2025 in an official statement released by the council.
CABC is a Washington, DC-based nonprofit, nonpartisan, issues-oriented organization dedicated to fostering dialogue between the public and private sectors in the US and Canada.
Burke urged the Canadian and American governments to seek constructive solutions “that strengthen, not weaken, this essential economic partnership.”
Burke said tariffs deeply disrupt interconnected supply chains between Canada and the US and jeopardize energy security, and undermine the economic foundation that supports our shared national security.
“The United States and Canada are each other’s most important customer and supplier, neighbor and friend, and we must prioritize this exemplary relationship to ensure we face the world’s challenges together,” Burke said.
