Trump's 25% tariff on Canada has been pushed back after speaking with Justin Trudeau
Even Canada-based NHL teams aren't safe from feeling the brunt of President Donald Trump's tariffs on the country.
Mere hours after Trump's executive order to impose tariffs on Canada, both Ottawa Senators and Toronto Raptors fans booed the playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner."

During the first period, Vancouver defenseman Derek Forbot was assessed a two-minute penalty for interference. That prompted longtime Canucks announcer John Shorthourse to facetiously say that the penalty would actually be 25% longer.
"This will actually be a two-and-a-half minute power play for the Detroit Red Wings, due to the 25% tariff that has been imposed on penalties to Canadian-based teams," Shorthouse said.
We're all still figuring out the far-reaching impacts of the tariffs.

Vancouver was able to kill the penalty, with the ending of the first period benefiting them.
Vancouver tied the game midway through the third after newcomer Filip Chytil scored, but Detroit would win, 3-2, in overtime.

Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke via phone on Monday, hours before additional 25% tariffs were to take effect on Canadian goods coming into the United States. In a post on X, Trudeau said Canada will implement a $1.3 billion border plan and appoint a fentanyl czar.
Trump has long said Canada and Mexico have failed to do enough to prevent the flow of illegal migrants and drugs, particularly fentanyl, from those nations into the U.S. In addition, Trump claims the U.S. has subsidized Canada to the tune of $200 billion annually.

Trump has promised to impose a 25% tariff on all Canadian and Mexican goods, as well as a 10% tariff on Canadian energy and a 10% tariff on all goods entering the U.S. from China. The tariffs on Canada and China were set to go into effect Tuesday at midnight.
