CP NewsAlert: Trump keeps carveout under CUSMA in new 10 per cent tariff

By Canadian Press on February 20, 2026.

WASHINGTON — The majority of Canadian exports will not be hit by Donald Trump’s new 10 per cent global levy which the United States president enacted after the Supreme Court shut down his previous tariff tool.

The latest tariff will not hit goods compliant under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico agreement on trade and will not be applied on top of sector-specific tariffs like steel, aluminum and automobiles.

More coming.
