U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his plan to impose sweeping 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports, setting a firm deadline of March 4, 2025.

U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his plan to impose sweeping 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports, setting a firm deadline of March 4. While both countries have worked to avoid these measures—Canada securing a last-minute pause alongside Mexico—the threat remains, with Trump calling it a response to years of "abuse."

These tariffs, particularly on steel, aluminum, and possibly automobiles and pharmaceuticals, could have significant economic consequences. Trade tensions often contribute to market volatility, which in turn affects mortgage rates. If tariffs lead to inflation or economic slowdown, central banks may adjust interest rates in response. For Canadian homeowners, this could mean higher borrowing costs, impacting mortgage affordability and refinancing options.
