When Mark Carni goes to Washington, a clear and obvious pressure is on the prime minister to conclude any transaction. But the pressure also grows at the Trump administration.
American farmers require salvation, Bourbon manufacturers strive to relieve tariffs, and automakers are asking for their own break.
Meanwhile, the new survey shows that the growing share of the American public believes that the economy is on the wrong path.
The Trump administration knows that the costs of the trade war will become more obvious, since it is delayed. So, some experts invited the president to conclude a deal before everything worsens.
“My hypothesis consisted in the fact that USMCA’s truce will be politically insightful in anticipation of minimums in November 2026,” said Chris Sands, director of the Canadian research center at John Hopkins University, referring to the agreement of the United States-Mexico-Canada, which replaced NAFTA.
“This will put an end to the trade war with the two largest trading partners in the United States, stabilize prices and create business conditions.”
Around the last meeting of Prime Minister Mark Karni in the USA, US President, Donald Trump, in Washington about moving steel tariffs and aluminum tariffs. But even if there is a breakthrough, tariffs for Canadian lumber have become a new problem.
But Sands says that he is not sure that the Republicans are ready for this. Thus, the industries that hit the tariffs will remain lobbying for more.
In the upper part of this list is the automotive industry, which was laid down on spare parts tariffs.
Ford quarterly income showed that in the first half of this year he will pay $ 2 billion for expenses related to tariffs.
“This is disappointed because we are the most American automobile company, and we export the most, and yet, we have this counterclaim of $ 2 billion, which prevents me from investing even more in the United States,” Ford Director General Director of Ford told Yahoo Finance.
Soon after, Reuters said that Trump's key ally was a promising “significant” tariff relief for automakers.
Companies that have a “final meeting” in the United States will be rewarded, said Senator Bernie Moro.
“For Ford, for Toyota, for Honda, for Tesla, for GM, this is almost in the order of the five best home -made car manufacturers – they will be be immune to tariffs. “
It remains unclear how this relief of the tariff tariff will look like and whether it will include release for Canadian auto -earnings or Canadian steel. CBC News reported that Partial relief from steel tariffs It is a modest expectation of the Canada delegation.
Meanwhile, the cost of salvation for sectors has suffered from a trade war grow rapidly.
Soyi American farmers were aimed at China, since this trade war was delayed. Beijing introduced a 20 percent tariff for the export of soybean from the United States, which will effectively record American farmers from the profitable Chinese market.
Trump Social social This income from tariffs will be used to help soy farmers.
Treasury Minister Scott Ibstar Later said CNBC This “significant relief for our farmers, especially soy farmers” should come this week.
CNN said that such a package will cost at least 10 billion US dollars. The politician said that he could rise up to 50 billion US dollars.
Such government expenses attract lobbyists in the crowds. The Bloomberg investigation found that lobbying tariffs and other issues related to trade reached a record maximum in the first half of 2025. The total expenses of more than 900 million US dollars were registered this year.
And this, in turn, caused the anger of traditional conservative allies. Perhaps most consciously, from the editorial commission of Wall Street Journal.
“The farm -fiasco emphasizes another truth about the tariffs, which is that they expand what Mr. Trump called the“ swamp ”. Industry and individual companies affected by tariffs flow to Washington to lobby for relief.
Meanwhile, trading experts say that there are more problems on the road ahead. The longer the trade war is drawn, the more the actual costs of tariffs will appear.
Until now, many enterprises have been afraid of the transfer of costs. Companies, from Ford to Apple, reported billions of dollars related to tariffs, but still retained from rising prices for American consumers.
Experts say that this will not last.
“If you think that this will be rooted in the structure of the costs of your business, then you cannot eat these additional expenses for a very long time, you must transfer them to your customers,” said Jeffrey Shott, senior researcher at the St. Peterson International Economy in Washington.
He says that there is a growing consensus that in the coming months and next year there will be a “larger pass”. In other words, in the near future, costs buying products imported in the United States will grow.
So, of course, the pressure on Mark Karni to make a deal. But this fusion of factors, from increasing costs, to significant salvations, emphasizes how the world of trade also meets the interest of the United States.
And although this is exactly the argument that, perhaps, won the day in previous administrations (or even during the first presidency of Trump), which experts warn, this may not be enough in the current climate.
“There are some signs of growing pressure on the American side. It is clear that the US economy is softening under the weight of the administration tariffs, ”said Clark Packard, a researcher at the Cato Institute based in Washington.
“The Trump administration is clearly looking for ways to soften the damage caused by return tariffs aimed at exporting American farms, for example. Similarly, I think that the struggle of the automotive industry is becoming clearer, and the administration seems to be open to accommodate some gas stations. ”
These and other points, as he predicts, will become the topics of discussion when both leaders will meet on Tuesday.
