Tariffs rise, borders stay open: what the US-Canada spat means for travelers

Despite an escalating US-Canada tariff fight, borders remain open and travel costs aren’t expected to rise directly since tariffs target goods rather than services; visa rules stay the same for stays under 180 days. However, sentiment around travel has cooled and Canadian tourism to the U.S. has fallen (about 6.5 million Canadian arrivals through May, down 9.3% year over year; 4.2 million fewer arrivals in 2025, a 20.9% drop), while U.S. outbound trips to Canada fell 4.7% in 2025 to 13.4 million.

US-Canada trade row heats up as auto tariffs loom at 50%

Tensions between the US and Canada deepen after talks collapse, with President Trump threatening to raise tariffs on Canadian-made autos, trucks, and parts from 25% to 50% starting January 1. Canada pledges reciprocal measures and says talks could resume only with a "right attitude." The dispute jeopardizes the USMCA and risks broader economic disruption, prompting Ottawa to boost diversification and infrastructure like icebreakers while firms brace for impact.

Maple under pressure: Trump tariffs strain long-standing US‑Canada ties

Washington imposes 50% tariffs on about $20 billion of Canadian imports, prompting a dollar-for-dollar retaliation and turning a closely linked trade relationship into a clash over national identity and sovereignty, notably around Quebec’s language and culture. While the immediate economic impact is modest (roughly 5% of Canada’s exports to the US), the psychological toll could push Ottawa to diversify its partnerships (including China) even as Canada remains economically intertwined with the US.

Tariffs Trigger Collapse of US-Canada Trade Talks

Two weeks of US-Canada trade talks collapsed after the US moved forward with 50% tariffs on about $28 billion of Canadian goods, with Canada saying it would match the duties dollar-for-dollar. Negotiators had been close on autos and other concessions, but late-stage demands derailed a deal. The tariffs target items from wine and spirits to cement and hockey sticks, potentially raising costs for consumers and disrupting supply chains and cross-border trade under USMCA rules.

Last‑minute push to seal US‑Canada trade pact before tariffs kick in

The U.S. and Canada are racing to finalize a trade deal before a 12:01 a.m. ET Saturday deadline to avert 50% tariffs on about $20 billion of Canadian imports, after an eleventh-hour delay by Trump. Talks in Washington involve top Canadian negotiators and U.S. officials, with Metals tariffs on steel, aluminum, and lumber remaining a sticking point and potential concessions on autos and a revived Keystone XL pipeline on the table. A final agreement had not been reached as of now.

Spokane’s inferno: fires jump the river as thousands evacuate

Spokane, Washington faced unprecedented wildfires this summer, forcing about a quarter of the city’s 65,000 residents to evacuate as three large fires burn with under 40% containment. Roughly 900 buildings are believed destroyed, there have been no deaths or major injuries, and authorities have charged a suspect in an arson case connected to the fires while recovery begins amid forecasts of more dry, windy days.

US and Canada strike deal to divert asylum seekers at border.

The US and Canada are expected to announce a deal to apply the terms of an existing "safe third country agreement" to asylum-seekers who cross between ports of entry. The agreement means people have to apply for asylum in the first safe countries they arrive at, with exceptions. Illegal crossings into the US from Canada have climbed to historically high levels, with about 2,000 migrants apprehended crossing the border illegally in the Swanton Sector of the US border from Oct. 1 to Feb. 28, compared to just 200 in the same period the previous year.
