Belt Tightening Could Hurt US
U.S. Treasury officials fear Canada’s austerity plan to defend its currency may hurt American exports and balance of payments in the short term. Tariffs could raise costs for U.S. goods sold in Canada, which buys 17 percent of U.S. exports. A stricter duty-free limit and higher Canadian rates aim to curb cross-border shopping and attract investment, further pressuring the U.S. economy.
