Risks & tensions

  • Partial pullback from aggressive tariff stance may signal negotiation leverage or industry pressure

  • Potash reduction to 10% still represents significant cost pressure on fertilizer/agriculture sector
  • Automotive exemption favors integrated North American supply chains but leaves other Canadian goods exposed
