Aug 19, 2026

The American Chamber of Commerce in Canada applauds the U.S. decision to extend negotiations with Canada and to postpone implementation of the 338 tariffs. We welcome an extension that leads to resolution of the current trade disputes and urge both governments to use this time expeditiously to achieve a sustainable, comprehensive outcome. AmCham Canada stands ready to support intensive, good-faith engagement between governments and industry to return certainty and stability to the worlds' closest and most prosperous trading relationship.
