Sign InCanada's Finance Minister has expressed skepticism regarding the likelihood of the United States lifting existing tariffs, citing a shift in American fiscal strategy. This outlook follows proposals from President Donald Trump to replace federal income taxes with revenue generated from broad global tariffs. Such a fundamental restructuring of US trade policy suggests a move toward long-term protectionism that could strain North American trade relations.
