Ohioans came out strong for Trump — now they're bracing for his tariffs
COLUMBUS – In 1837, two brothers-in-law living in Ohio — one a candle maker, the other a soap maker — merged their businesses to form what later became the multinational juggernaut Procter & Gamble. Nearly two centuries later, the company — which makes everything from toothpaste to diapers — could be the canary in the coal mine as the U.S. economy wobbles under the weight of President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff agenda. Procter & Gamble announced last month that it was increasing prices on its products. Many Ohioans say they are bracing for diminished business and higher costs as a result of tariffs, while others see Trump's plan as the only way to revive the state's manufacturing base. 'I'm still confident that things still need to play out,' said Mark Patterson in Springfield, west of the state capital. 'And I think it's kind of a wait-and-see at this point.' Patterson runs a small sheet metal fabrication business and has two other employees. He said he's seen a boost in orders and thinks it's a sign that companies are prioritizing American-made products. Trump has claimed that his steep tariffs on imports from around the world will accomplish many things: the restoration of American manufacturing, trade deals on the United States' terms and mountains of cash for the federal government. Canada was hit with 35 per cent tariffs but the levies exclude goods compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade. The president also slapped high tariffs on steel, aluminum, copper and automobiles. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has said Ohio is likely to be the seventh-most tariff-affected state. Canada is Ohio's largest export market — the state sent $21.4 billion in goods north and imported $17.9 billion in Canadian products in 2023. Ohio is part of the integrated automobile sector that links Canada and the United States. Honda and the Big Three automakers — Ford, Stellantis and General Motors — employ thousands of workers in vehicle and parts manufacturing in Ohio, while smaller businesses in the state support the automotive supply chain. 'The parts industry is very, very fragile,' said Michael Gorman, a professor of business analytics and operations management at the University of Dayton. The industry works on thin margins and manufacturers can employ complicated logistics and delivery arrangements. Many companies in the auto sector stockpiled supplies as the tariffs loomed. Those supplies are running low now. Gorman said that while larger companies have more flexibility to switch suppliers for some components, smaller firms may not be able to survive. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has said companies with fewer than 500 workers will be hit especially hard by the duties. 'When orders are unpredictable, then orders based on those orders are even more unpredictable because everybody's guessing what everybody else is going to do,' Gorman said. 'And right now, with the high level of uncertainty, it's not clear what the future holds.' Ohio's auto industry isn't the only one with reasons to worry. Hoster Brewing is the oldest brewery in Columbus; it pulled its first pint in 1836. Ian Hansford, bar manager at Hoster, said profit margins are dwindling as the brewery gets hammered by tariffs on critical inputs like steel, aluminum and grain. 'Our costs have gone up about 30 per cent just to craft beer from start to finish,' he said. While the brewery hasn't increased its prices yet, Hansford said the current tariff climate is 'not sustainable at all.' 'I think the … song and dance of the American government needs to end eventually, because it's only hurting American people,' he said. Ohioans are proud of the famous businesses and brands with roots in their state. The Wendy's burger chain was launched here, as was KitchenAid, which assembled its first stand mixer in 1919 in Springfield. Goodyear Tire started in Akron in 1898. Residents also talk about Ohio's connections to General Electric, which recently announced it will invest $3 billion to expand U.S. manufacturing and create 1,000 jobs over five years. None of those new jobs will be in Ohio. U.S. Vice-President JD Vance, a former Ohio senator, has stood by Trump's tariffs and Sen. Bernie Moreno — like many other Republicans in the state — also has defended the duties. They promise the long-term benefits will outweigh the short-term pain. Ohio has long had a neighbourly relationship with Canada, said Democratic state Rep. Anita Somani. She said she's worried about the damage being caused by decisions made in the White House, especially since many Canadian companies invest in Ohio. 'They don't know what to do,' Somani said of the Canadian businesses. 'A lot of the other companies aren't sure how to invest because nobody knows if the tariffs are going to increase, decrease, stay the same. And when you have that uncertainty (in your) cost of doing business, you don't do business.' Manufacturing employment has been declining throughout the United States for decades, including in Ohio, but there have been some promising signs in the state lately. The Ohio Manufacturers Association said in a recent report that the state remains a manufacturing 'powerhouse,' citing recent investments and Intel's plans for a massive new computer chip fabrication plant. Intel recently announced it's slowing construction of the Ohio site. Behind that optimism is a landscape dotted with empty warehouses and shuttered factories — remnants of industries that have died or moved on. Ohio was long a swing state but has shifted over the last 12 years toward the Republican party, said Dan Birdsong, a professor of political science at the University of Dayton. In 2016 and 2020, Trump won Ohio by eight percentage points — that margin expanded to 11 points in last year's election. But areas of the state where Trump has seen his strongest support may also be the ones most at risk from his trade policies. Recent polling shows only 48 per cent of Ohioans approve of Trump on trade, Birdsong said. 'You have some really strong supporters of the president, but also industries that might be more harmed by the trade practices,' Birdsong said. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. 'That's the question — with tariffs and with trade and the changes, is this going to have a negative impact on the regions where Trump saw a lot of his support over the last three election cycles?' All presidents are given a bit of leeway early in a term and Trump's most ardent supporters seem willing to give him time, Birdsong said. More traditional Republicans and the Independents who backed Trump in 2024 seem to be more wary ahead of next year's midterm elections. Birdsong said it may ultimately come down to voters' pocketbooks. 'If the economy goes south, if it gets bad, then it puts the Republicans on defence,' he said. 'And allows Democrats to at least articulate a vision for why they should have some more representation.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 16, 2025.

Canadians' view of leadership in Washington plunges: Gallup poll
In the wake of a stormy stretch in Canada-U.S. relations, the Canadian view of American leadership has plummeted. Article content Gallup's latest survey of Canadian opinion, conducted in May and June, found approval of Washington slipping to 15 per cent, statistically in line with sentiment when Donald Trump was president the first time. Article content Article content Canadian opinion of leaders in Washington has fluctuated over time, showing a clear connection with who is sitting in the White House. For example, Canadian approval of American leadership averaged 61 per cent under Barack Obama, compared with 19 per cent in Trump's first term and 41 per cent under Joe Biden. Article content Aside from an uptick in 2021, only a minority of Canadians have approved of Washington since 2017. Article content Article content The latest downturn comes in the midst of diplomatic and trade tensions. Since returning to the White House, Trump has introduced high tariffs and continued with rhetoric suggesting Canada should become the '51st state.' Article content Gallup asked about four global powers during it recent World Poll. Germany's leadership received the most positive ratings from Canadians. A slim majority of Canadians (54 per cent) approve of Berlin. Article content Canadians have a higher approval rating for Beijing than they do for Washington. It sits at 23 per cent, up eight points from last year's poll. Article content Otherwise, the 79 per cent of Canadians who disapprove of U.S. leadership is statistically close to the 82 per cent who disapprove of Russia's. Article content Meanwhile, Canadians' view of their own leadership has improved considerably, rising 19 points from last year to 59 per cent now. The increase followed Mark Carney replacing Justin Trudeau as Liberal party leader and prime minister in March and his election victory in April. Article content Article content Approval of Trudeau fell from 64 per cent in 2016 — his first full year in office — to a low of 40 per cent in 2024. Article content Article content However, Canadians are gloomy about the state of the economy. Their optimism dropped to a new low in 2025, with 27 per cent saying their local economy is getting better, compared to 63 per cent who think it's getting worse. Article content The share of Canadians who say it's a good time to find a new job has fallen sharply down from 74 per cent in 2022 to 32 per cent in 2025. This is the lowest level of job optimism since the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2020 and the 2009 financial crisis. Article content The housing affordability crisis also remains widespread in Canada. One in four adults are satisfied with the availability of good, affordable housing, compared with 72 per cent who are dissatisfied. Article content Weak economic sentiment poses a test for Carney, says the folks at Gallup. 'Sustaining public support may depend on whether his administration can reverse declining optimism and navigate a complicated relationship with Washington.' Article content

Carney to visit Mexico next month as both countries navigate tense U.S. relations
Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to visit Mexico next month as the countries try to navigate trade relations with the United States. Both Mexico and Canada have been subject to tariffs and tariff threats from U.S. President Donald Trump since he was re-elected last fall. Trump upped tariffs on Canadian non-CUSMA-compliant goods to 35 per cent earlier this month, but exempted Mexico for now — prompting questions about the different approach to the two countries. Canada attempted to reach some sort of agreement on tariffs by Aug. 1. But Dominic LeBlanc, the minister responsible for Canada-U.S. trade, said a viable deal wasn't on table by that deadline. Trump gave Mexico a 90-day extension of its current tariff regime with the goal of signing a new deal during that period. Carney's visit to Mexico is scheduled to take place on Sept. 18. The trip was first reported by Bloomberg News. Since his election, Carney has said he wants to expand relations with other countries to avoid being reliant on the U.S. Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand and Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said they were kickstarting a bilateral economic relationship with Mexico during a visit to the country's capital last week.

While Canada and Mexico are partners in the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), they haven't collaborated together as much as with their shared neighbour. And the two countries haven't always been in harmony during previous trade negotiations, at times prioritizing their relationship with the U.S. Enlarge image (new window) Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne, left, and Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand, right, met Sheinbaum, centre, in Mexico City last week. Photo: Claudia Sheinbaum/X With Mexico, we are neighbours but we could get to know each other better, Champagne told reporters during last week's visit. Anand said the two countries were also looking into port-to-port lines of trade. On Thursday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre criticized Carney and his government for not landing a deal with either the U.S. or Mexico, saying the prime minister has shown weakness on the international stage. Mark Carney promised that he was an international man of mystery who was going to negotiate deals and end tariffs. Well, what's the result been so far? Poilievre said during a news conference. The Conservative leader also pointed to China slapping tariffs on Canadian canola as another example of the Liberals floundering when it comes to trade. Countries smell weakness. Mark Carney has been failing, he said. CUSMA review on the horizon Carney's visit also comes as a CUSMA review is rapidly approaching. The trade deal — which was signed in 2018 and came into effect in 2020 — is up for review next year. While CUSMA-compliant goods are exempt from Trump's 35 per cent tariffs, the U.S. president has hit certain Canadian goods — such as softwood lumber, steel, aluminum and some auto parts — with further import levies, whether they fall under the trade agreement's umbrella or not. Although the review isn't scheduled until July 2026, there have been questions about the possibility of it starting early. WATCH | What could come from the trade talks? Début du widget . Passer le widget? Fin du widget . Retour au début du widget? Ontario Premier Doug Ford warned last week that Trump could choose to suddenly pull the carpet out from underneath us by opening up CUSMA as early as this fall. Let's be prepared. I think it'll be coming in November. He's going to come at us with double barrels, so we better be ready and throw everything and the kitchen sink at this, Ford told reporters last week. LeBlanc has tried to temper concerns that the unpredictable president would trigger an early review. The minister said earlier this spring (new window) that he has no reason to think Trump would push up the timeline.
