A wave of bipartisan opposition is building in the Pacific Northwest as U.S. President Donald Trump’s new tariffs on Canadian goods threaten to disrupt trade, hurt small businesses, and strain relations with America’s closest ally. Washington state officials, business leaders, and British Columbia’s premier are warning that the tariffs—set to rise to 35%—will inflict lasting economic damage, particularly on border communities and industries reliant on cross-border commerce. Surveys show a majority of affected businesses are already feeling the pinch, with fears of job losses, higher costs, and a deepening rift between the U.S. and Canada. Both sides of the border are calling for urgent action to halt the trade war, arguing that the fallout will be severe and long-lasting. The situation underscores the interconnectedness of the U.S. and Canadian economies and the risks of escalating trade disputes.
