A wave of opposition is building on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border as President Donald Trump’s plan to impose steep tariffs on Canadian goods threatens to disrupt trade, hurt small businesses, and damage local economies—especially in Washington state and British Columbia. Bipartisan U.S. lawmakers, business leaders, and Canadian officials are warning that the tariffs, set to take effect August 1, will raise costs, strain cross-border relationships, and inflict lasting harm on industries from agriculture to marine trades. Surveys show a majority of border businesses are already feeling the pinch, with many reporting lost revenue and uncertainty. Both B.C. Premier David Eby and Washington Senator Patty Murray are calling for urgent action to halt the trade war, arguing that escalating tariffs will only deepen economic pain on both sides. The situation highlights the interconnectedness of the U.S. and Canadian economies and the risks of using tariffs as a political weapon.
