Why Trump's deals with the EU, Japan may not be templates for Canada in trade talks
U.S. President Donald Trump's successive announcements of deals setting baseline tariffs on the European Union and Japan are prompting questions about whether they're a road map for Canada to follow in trade talks. Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen described the bones of an agreement on Sunday. It sets across-the-board tariffs of 15 per cent on most European Union exports to the United States, along with a commitment by Europe to invest $600 billion US in the American economy and spend $750 billion on U.S. energy products — although there's plenty of fine print still to come. That makes it broadly comparable to the deal Trump announced last week with Japan: a 15 per cent across-the-board tariff and a Japanese commitment to invest $550 billion in the U.S. Trump was threatening to hit Europe with 30 per cent baseline tariffs and Japan with 25 per cent on Aug. 1, so both trading blocs are selling the deals as wins. Because Canada is facing the threat of 35 per cent tariffs on some goods on the same date, does that mean Canada should be aiming for a similar agreement? Prime Minister Mark Carney certainly isn't saying so. Asked whether any forthcoming deal will be "in the ballpark" of those 15 per cent baseline tariffs, he emphasized the differences between Europe's and Canada's trading relationship with the U.S. "We are in a different position, and that is why these negotiations ... are different," Carney said on Monday, citing Canada's geographical closeness and energy exports to the U.S. "Europe, in that agreement yesterday, made commitments to buy American energy," he said at a news conference in Prince Edward Island. "America needs Canadian energy." WATCH | Canada's trade talks with the U.S. are different from Europe's, Carney says: Across-the-board tariffs 'difficult for Canada to accept' There are plenty of reasons why a 15 per cent baseline tariff rate is not something for Canada to aspire to, given that its economy is proportionally far more dependent on the U.S. market than Europe's and Japan's are. Jonathan O'Hara, an international trade lawyer in the Ottawa law office of McMillan LLP, said Canada should set its sights on a better deal than the EU or Japan negotiated since it's already so tightly integrated with the American economy. "On a broad level, having some kind of across-the-board tariffs, I think, would be very difficult for Canada to accept," O'Hara said in a weekend interview with CBC News. WATCH | Here's what's in Trump's tariff deal with the EU: Yet it appears that Canada doesn't actually face the prospect of tariffs that are truly across-the-board. That's because it has something that neither the European Union nor Japan have: an actual free-trade deal. Trump's "fentanyl emergency" tariffs, currently set at 25 per cent — which he's threatening to raise to 35 per cent on Friday — hit only those goods that don't comply with the rules of origin in the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). That means the vast bulk of Canada's exports to the U.S. are currently crossing the border tariff-free. Steel and aluminum tariffs a big question That may be why Carney's Liberal government does not feel the same sort of pressure as Europe and Japan to get a deal on Trump's timeline, said Drew Fagan, a professor at the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. "Overall, the average tariff on Canadian goods going into the United States is about as low as any place in the world," he told CBC News. "What's important for us is that the [CUSMA] free-trade agreement continues to hold. Whether it will in the future, of course, is a fundamental question." The biggest exceptions to Canada's mostly tariff-free access to the U.S. are steel and aluminum, hit by Trump's 50 per cent global rate as he tries to prop up that sector at home. In their deals reached with the U.S., neither the EU nor Japan are let off the hook from that tariff. While Canada is surely angling for something better on steel and aluminum — such as the U.K.'s 25 per cent tariff, potentially headed to zero — the European and Japanese agreements suggest that will be tough to achieve. Carlo Dade, director of international policy at the University of Calgary's School of Public Policy, said Canada will likely face a tariff rate comparable to Europe's. "The Americans have decided to readjust the terms of trade," Dade said. "The price of access to the U.S. market is going up globally. It appears everyone is going to have to pay an increased cost." There are plenty of signs to suggest that the prospects are slim for Canada to reach a deal by Trump's deadline of Friday: Carney said the talks are complex, his top trade negotiators are downplaying the importance of the deadline and Trump himself is saying there may not be a deal at all.

Mining billionaire welcomes Trump tariffs on copper
A leading North American mining entrepreneur, who wants to open his own US copper mine, has welcomed plans for a 50% tax on copper imports. Robert Friedland, the billionaire founder of Vancouver-based Ivanhoe Mines and Ivanhoe Electric, told the BBC the tariffs would help re-establish the US copper mining industry. US President Donald Trump has already introduced steel and aluminium tariffs and a 50% copper tariff is due to come in on 1 August. Critics have argued that tariffs are inflationary and will push up prices for American consumers, but Mr Friedland said the president's approach was aimed at strengthening national security by building important industries at home. US will hike tariffs on copper to 50%, Trump says Faisal Islam: Trump's tough tariff tactics are getting results Copper is an essential metal for the modern global economy and green technology in particular. It is used in everything from buildings and power grids to electric vehicles and data centres. "The new administration in the United States is correctly focused on making sure that the world's largest economy actually has stable access to raw materials at the scale of that economy, rather than being dependent on far-flung and potentially unstable jurisdictions," he said. Last year, the US imported about 50% of the copper it used. The biggest sources were Mexico, Chile and Canada - which has hit out at the move. "We'll fight against it - period," said Canadian Industry Minister Melanie Joly. When Trump announced the tariffs on social media earlier this month, he said they would allow the US to "once again, build a dominant copper industry". Global demand is soaring thanks to growing industrialisation and the surge of new technologies that rely on electricity. The International Energy Agency (IEA) is warning that without more mining, global copper demand will be 30% higher than supply by 2035 as demand from China and India continues to soar. US demand spurred by the impending tariffs has pushed the price of copper to record highs - a trend that Mr Friedland warns will only increase due to the metal's scarcity. However, those higher prices risk broader economic damage such as delays in construction projects, according to Ewa Manthey, who is a commodities strategist at the Dutch bank ING. "Copper is a foundational input in everything from electronics to manufacturing and construction. When prices rise, so do production costs which can feed into broader inflation," Ms Manthey said. She pointed out that pressure came as the US central bank was already resisting Trump's calls to cut interest rates amid its ongoing struggles to get inflation back to its 2% target. The US was once the world's biggest producer of copper and still has plenty left in the ground, but has fallen behind Chile, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Peru. Its refining capacity has also been falling. In 1997, there were 11 smelters, and now there are only three, which means American copper has had to be sent abroad for processing. Meanwhile, China's share of global refining capacity has grown to 44%. A report commissioned by industry body the Copper Development Association concluded that making the most of American reserves required increasing processing capacity in the US. Mr Friedland, who has joint US and Canadian citizenship, made most of his mining fortune from his company's vast operations in southern Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo, but he is working on opening what will be America's first new copper mine in more than a decade. The Santa Cruz project in Arizona is expected to start production in 2028 and will, he says, deliver copper that is so highly refined it can be used in electronics, modern cars and data centres without requiring processing at a smelter. And with computer chip maker TSMC and electric car manufacturer Lucid Motors coming to Arizona, Mr Friedland thinks the copper produced will never leave the state. Other companies are also racing to mine more copper in the US but have been held back by permit delays and legal challenges. The billionaire insists Trump's desire to bring manufacturing jobs back to the US will mean even more raw materials are needed and there will be a "continued scramble" for metals. But others are doubtful Trump's economic shake-up will be good for growth. "For the sake of national security, you may be willing to give up certain amounts of economic efficiency" says Adam Posen, President of the Peterson Institute for International Economics. However, the wide-ranging tariffs will, he argues, be detrimental to the US. "That's a very big set of costs to impose on the huge range of people, almost essentially everybody in the US." Trump says US may not reach trade deal with Canada Who are the winners and losers in US-EU trade deal?
