U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest tariff threat is set to take effect just after midnight, according to multiple reports. The measure involves 50% tariffs on $28 billion worth of Canadian goods, creating an immediate deadline for Canadian and U.S. officials.
Several outlets describe the timing as imminent, with some noting there are less than 24 hours left before the tariffs begin. The reports also frame the situation as contingent on whether officials can finalize a trade agreement before the deadline. While the outlets largely focus on the countdown and the potential start time, they differ mainly in phrasing—some stress “high-stakes” negotiations, others focus on the specific “just after midnight” trigger—without presenting different details about the tariff scope.
