WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening to impose 35 per cent tariffs on Canadian imports on Aug. 1.

Trump posted a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney on social media, linking the duties to the flow of fentanyl but says there are other issues the United States has with Canada.

More coming.
