The Canadian government will return tariffs on American goods after the new US government, led by President Donald Trump, imposed a 25% additional tariff on its northern neighbour on 1 February 2025.<\/p>\n

A day later, Ottawa announced a tariff of the same percentage on C$155bn ($105.5bn) worth of US-imported products. Notably, the retaliatory measure will impact a variety of aerospace parts, uncrewed systems, and firearms.<\/p>\n

It is unclear how disruptive these costs will be on US defence procurement specifically given the large commercial market for the items in America. Nonetheless, these three imports are still known to be produced for dual-use purposes.<\/p>\n

Such an exchange may be \u2013 a Washington think tank report<\/a> predicted in October 2024 \u2013 \u201can historic low\u201d between the two countries.<\/p>\n

GlobalData, a leading intelligence consultancy, reveals that the US government is currently in the process of acquiring two different Bombardier Electronic Warfare (EW) aircraft \u2013 based on the commerical Global 6500 and the Challenger 650 \u2013 from Canada, valued at $642m and $592m respectively.<\/p>\n

US still needs its allies<\/h2>\n

It does not end with surveillance aircraft. Canada is the largest export market for 36 American states, and is among the top three for 46 of them, with 43 exporting over\u00a0$1bn to Canada every year.<\/p>\n
