Canadian Premiers are meeting in Charlottetown this week for their annual sitdown. It comes at a tense time for the country, as the trade war with the United States appears to be escalating yet again. On Monday night, American President Donald Trump dropped a political bombshell – a 50% tariff on an array of Canadian goods. Some of those goods, in fact, are currently covered under CUSMA.
