예고된 바 있지만 이제 공식적으로 발표되었다. 도널드 트럼프 대통령은 목요일에 미국이 캐나다와 멕시코에서 수입하는 제품에 25% 관세를 부과할 것이라고 확인했다. 해당 조치는 2월 1일 토요일부터 시행된다. 이번 조치는 불법 이민, 막대한 무역 적자 그리고 두 나라에서의 펜타닐 밀수에 대한 우려로 관세를 부과하겠다고 약속한 트럼프의 발언에 따른 것이다.

It was in the air, but now it's official. President Donald Trump confirmed Thursday the United States will impose 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">starting Saturday, Feb. 1.</a>
The move follows Trump's promise to impose tariffs due to concerns over illegal immigration, wide trade deficits and fentanyl trafficking from both countries.
Data from TradingEconomics shows the U.S. imported $429.6 billion in goods from Canada in 2023 and $480 billion from Mexico. This makes Mexico the largest U.S. trading partner in terms of imports, followed by China at $448 billion and Canada in third place.
As reported by <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-30/trump-says-he-ll-hit-canada-mexico-with-25-tariffs-on-saturday?srnd=phx-politics">Bloomberg</a>, Trump laid out three reasons for the tariffs during an interview with reporters on Thursday:
<ol>
<li>Illegal immigration: &#8220;People have poured into our country so horribly and so much.&#8221;</li>
<li>Drug trafficking: &#8220;Fentanyl and everything else that have come into the country.&#8221;</li>
<li>Trade deficits: &#8220;The massive subsidies that we're giving to Canada and Mexico in the form of deficits.&#8221;</li>
</ol>
Trump also suggested the tariff rate could increase over time and said a decision on Canadian oil tariffs would be made later in the day, depending on oil prices. 
&#8220;We don't need the products that they have. We have all the oil that you need. We have all the trees you need,&#8221; he added, referring to major Canadian exports.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions: Peso, Loonie Drop; Oil Surges</h3>
Markets reacted sharply to the news. The Canadian dollar – as tracked by the Invesco CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXC#NYSE">FXC</a>) – weakened by 0.6%, with the USD/CAD exchange rate rising to 1.4480. The Mexican peso slid by over 1%, pushing USD/MXN to 20.60.
The U.S. dollar index (DXY) gained, indicating the greenback&#8217;s strength across currencies.
WTI oil futures – as closely tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) – saw an immediate uptick before slightly paring back those gains.
The S&amp;P 500 index – tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – fell minutes prior to the New York close.

Natural Gas Jumps 4%, Oil Hits $75; Europe Markets Advance - Global Markets Today While Us Slept

President-elect Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that Canada could become the 51st U.S. state as he criticized trade imbalances and subsidies, signaling a potential escalation in economic and political tensions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/canada">with America's northern neighbor.</a>
Speaking during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, Trump leveled sharp criticism at Canada, accusing the country of exploiting U.S. generosity on trade and defense.
"We're spending hundreds of billions a year to protect Canada," Trump said, while also alleging the U.S. loses over $200 billion annually in trade deficits with the nation.
"Why should we have a $200 billion deficit and subsidize their defense?" Trump asked. &#8220;They should be a state.&#8221;
In 2022, the U.S. trade deficit with Canada for goods and services was $53.5 billion, according to the U.S. Trade Representative&#8217;s office. 
Trump mentioned a conversation with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42823979/canadas-pm-justin-trudeau-steps-down-amid-internal-conflict-and-tension-over-trump-tariffs">outgoing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau</a>, who, according to Trump, said that Canada would "dissolve" without the U.S.'s economic and security assistance.
 "Canada wouldn't be able to function if we didn't take that 20% of our car market," Trump said, referring to the high volume of Canadian-made cars exported to the U.S.
When asked whether he would consider military force to annex and acquire Canada, Trump replied, &#8220;Economic force.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs And Trade Deficits</h3>
Trump's remarks also hinted at the possibility of tariffs on Canadian goods if no resolution is reached.
"We don't need their cars, and we don't need their lumber," Trump said, arguing that U.S. industries could easily replace Canadian imports.
While Trump's mention of Canada becoming a U.S. state may have sounded speculative, his broader message will certainly grab the attention of the market. 
"It's a tremendous amount of money, and why should we give it to them as a separate country? That's okay to have if you're a state," Trump said
Trump also framed the idea of erasing the "artificially drawn line" between the two countries as a move that would benefit both sides economically and in terms of national security. 
The iShares MSCI Canada ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWW#NYSE">EWW</a>) dropped 0.4% following Trump's comments, reflecting investor concerns about the potential impact of trade barriers. The Invesco CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXC#NYSE">FXC</a>) was 0.1% lower by 3 p.m. ET.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mexico And The &#8216;Gulf Of America&#8217;</h3>
Mexico faces a similar threat from the incoming White House administration. Trump described the country as being "run by cartels" and criticized the ongoing flow of drugs and migrants across the southern border.
He raised the idea of "substantial tariffs" on Mexican imports as a way to offset the economic costs of illegal immigration and crime.
Energy policy took center stage as Trump vowed to overturn President Joe Biden's ban <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42821300/biden-set-to-ban-future-offshore-oil-drilling-4-stocks-to-watch">on offshore drilling</a> on over 625 million acres of the ocean, calling it "a crime" against America's economic potential.
Trump promised to revoke the ban on his first day in office.
Trump also announced plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America," a symbolic move underscoring his energy-first strategy. 
"We have oil and gas reserves that no one else has," he said, estimating that offshore drilling could add $50 trillion in value to the U.S. economy.
Mexican stocks performed positively on Tuesday, with the iShares MSCI Mexico ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWW#NYSE">EWW</a>) up 1.4%, following a 1.6% surge a day earlier.

Asia Ex-Hong Kong Up, Europe Mixed; Dollar Hovers Near High - Global Markets Today While Us Slept

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has been in power for nearly 10 years, announced his resignation Monday.
Trudeau said he will step down after the Liberal Party selects its new leader and said the Parliament will be suspended until March 24.
"I care deeply about this country and I will always be motivated by what is in the best interests of Canadians. And the fact is, despite best efforts to work through it, Parliament has been paralyzed for months after what has been the longest session of a minority Parliament in Canadian history," he said. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Canada Stocks To Watch With Trump Tariff Threats, Trudeau Exit On Horizon </h2>
U.S.-traded stocks of major Canadian companies, particularly in the financial and energy sectors, could experience volatility due to this political upheaval.

이번 조치는 불법 이민, 막대한 무역 적자 그리고 두 나라에서의 펜타닐 밀수에 대한 우려로 관세를 부과하겠다고 약속한 트럼프의 발언에 따른 것이다.
트레이딩이코노믹스(TradingEconomics)의 자료에 따르면, 미국은 2023년에 캐나다에서 4,296억 달러, 멕시코에서 4,800억 달러의 상품을 수입했다. 이는 멕시코가 수입 측면에서 미국의 최대 무역 파트너인 반면, 중국이 4,480억 달러로 뒤를 이으며, 캐나다가 3위로 자리 잡고 있음을 보여준다.
<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-30/trump-says-he-ll-hit-canada-mexico-with-25-tariffs-on-saturday?srnd=phx-politics">블룸버그</a>에 따르면, 트럼프는 목요일 기자들과의 인터뷰에서 관세 부과에 대한 세 가지 이유를 제시했다:
<ol>
<li>불법 이민: &#8220;사람들이 우리 나라에 끔찍하게, 너무 많이 흘러들어왔다.&#8221;</li>
<li>마약 밀수: &#8220;펜타닐과 다른 모든 것들이 우리 나라에 들어왔다.&#8221;</li>
<li>무역 적자: &#8220;우리가 캐나다와 멕시코에 주는 막대한 보조금이 적자로 나타난다.&#8221;</li>
</ol>
트럼프는 또한 관세율이 시간이 지남에 따라 증가할 수 있다고 언급하고, 캐나다산 원유에 대한 관세 결정은 유가에 따라 나중에 발표할 것이라고 말했다.
&#8220;우리는 그들이 가진 제품이 필요하지 않다. 우리는 필요한 모든 석유가 있다. 우리는 필요한 모든 나무가 있다&#8221;고 주요 캐나다 수출품을 언급하며 덧붙였다.

캐나다는 도널드 트럼프 대통령 당선자의 최근 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/canada" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">캐나다산 수입품</a>에 대한 고율 관세 부과 위협에 대응하기 위해 미국 상품에 대한 보복 관세를 준비하기 시작했다.
한 고위 캐나다 정부 관계자는 수요일  <a href="https://apnews.com/article/canada-trump-tariffs-trudeau-c741393c2f7c7545e9714839cfbbda45" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AP</a> 뉴스에 &#8220;트럼프가 25% 관세를 실제로 시행할 경우 특정 미국 상품을 겨냥한 논의가 진행 중&#8221;이라고 밝혔지만, 최종 결정은 아직 내려지지 않았다고 전했다.
이러한 움직임은 트럼프가 무역에 대한 강경한 입장을 재확인하며 북쪽과 남쪽 국경을 넘는 마약과 이민자 흐름에 대한 처벌적 관세를 요구하는 상황에서 발생했다.
캐나다는 2018년에도 비슷한 상황을 겪었으며, 당시 캐나다는 미국산 철강과 알루미늄에 대한 관세 인상에 대응하여 수십억 달러의 보복 관세를 부과했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">캐나다 달러 추가 하락 예상</h3>
월스트리트 분석가들은 관세 위협이 현실화될 경우 Invesco CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXC#NYSE">FXC</a>)가 추적하는 캐나다 달러가 추가 하락할 것으로 예상하고 있다.
BMO 이코노믹스의 수석 이코노미스트인 로버트 카브치치(Robert Kavcic)는 캐나다가 &#8220;작고 개방된 경제&#8221;로서 미국 무역에 크게 의존하고 있어 취약하다고 강조했다.
&#8220;미국 시장은 캐나다 상품 수출의 약 75%를 차지하며, 이는 전체 캐나다 GDP의 약 25%를 구성한다&#8221;고 카브치치가 메모에 작성했다.
&#8220;일반적으로 캐나다 달러는 가장 크고 즉각적인 시장 영향을 받을 것이며, 최근 몇 달 동안의 약세가 계속될 것이다. 이러한 경우, 달러 대비 환율이 1.41 이상에서 추가 하락할 여지가 있다.&#8221;
스코샤 은행의 수석 외환 전략가인 숀 오스본(Shaun Osborne)은 캐나다 정부가 새로 들어설 행정부의 우려를 신속하게 해결할 수 있을지에 대해 회의적이라고 표현했다.
오스본은 트럼프가 새롭게 임명한 &#8220;국경 강제 집행관&#8221;인 톰 호먼(Tom Homan)이 이미 북쪽 국경을 &#8220;극단적인 국가 안보 문제&#8221;로 간주했다고 언급하며, 이는 협상을 복잡하게 만들 수 있다고 설명했다.
&#8220;캐나다 정부가 신속하게 새 행정부를 만족시키는 대응을 마련하지 못한다면, 추가적인 CAD 손실은 불가피해 보인다. 그건 쉽지 않을 수 있다&#8221;고 오스본이 경고했다.
그는 계속해서 &#8220;25% 관세의 위험은 현재로서는 그런 위험일 뿐이지만, 위협이 오래 지속되고 취임식에 가까워질수록 CAD의 가치가 더 약해질 수 있다&#8221;고 덧붙였다.
미국 인구 조사국 자료에 따르면, 2023년 미국의 캐나다산 수입은 4,810억 달러에 달했으며, 같은 기간 캐나다의 미국산 수입은 3,540억 달러에 달했다.
상품 측면에서 캐나다의 미국 수출 1위 품목은 원유 및 기타 연료로 약 1,200억 달러였고, 그 다음이 차량으로 580억 달러였다.

대통령 당선자 도널드 트럼프의 최근 관세 제안은 잠재적으로 경제적 지진을 일으킬 수 있으며, 경제학자들은 무역 흐름, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/currency-etfs/24/11/42190765/trumps-tariff-threats-slam-mexican-peso-canadian-dollar-only-the-beginning-of-a-sorely-needed-repricing-expert-warns" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">환율 및 소비자 가격</a>에 대한 중대한 여파를 이미 예측하고 있다.
월요일, 트럼프는 멕시코와 캐나다에서 들어오는 모든 수입품에 25% 관세를 부과할 계획을 발표하며, 이들 국가가 마약 밀매와 불법 이민을 억제하지 못했다고 비난했다. 추가적으로, 그는 중국에 대한 관세를 10% 인상할 것도 약속했다.
멕시코, 캐나다 및 중국은 총 43%의 미국 상품 수입을 차지하며, 각각 15.4%, 13.6%, 13.9%를 차지한다고 골드만삭스가 발표했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">골드만삭스: 관세가 글로벌 시장을 흔들 수 있다</h3>
골드만삭스의 분석가들은 트럼프의 관세 발언이 미치는 광범위한 경제적 함의를 신속하게 평가했다.
이사벨라 로젠버그(Isabella Rosenberg), 골드만삭스의 외환 분석가는 멕시코와 캐나다 수입품에 대한 25%의 관세 제안이 캐나다 달러와 멕시코 페소 모두에 중대한 경제적 충격을 나타낼 것이라고 말했다.
&#8220;관세가 25%로 상승한다면, USD/CAD와 USD/MXN에 대한 예상 영향은 각각 약 13%와 17%가 될 것이다&#8221;고 그녀가 화요일 고객에게 보낸 메모에서 말했다.
화요일, 멕시코 페소는 1.9% 하락했으며, Invesco CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXC#NYSE">FXC</a>)가 추적하는 캐나다 달러는 0.6% 하락했다.
트럼프가 제안한 수준의 관세는 공급망을 방해하고 비용을 증가시킬 것이라고 로젠버그가 말했다.
그녀는 미국-멕시코-캐나다 협정(USMCA)의 재협상이 내년에 이루어질 것으로 예상한다고 언급했다.
&#8220;USMCA는 2026년에 검토 및 갱신될 예정이며, 이는 협정의 일부 측면을 재협상하는 것을 포함할 가능성이 높아 보인다&#8221;고 그녀가 썼다. 이러한 불확실성은 2025년까지 캐나다 달러를 압박할 것이라고 그녀가 보았다.
조셉 브릭스(Joseph Briggs), 골드만의 경제학자는 &#8220;우리는 새로운 트럼프 행정부가 중국 및 유럽과 멕시코에서의 자동차 수입에 대한 관세를 인수 후 즉시 인상할 것으로 예상한다&#8221;고 말했다.
브릭스는 관세가 시행되기 전에도 경제 지표에 영향을 미칠 것이며, 정책 불확실성이 높아지고 통화 시장에 파급 효과가 생길 것이라고 덧붙였다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">$3,000억 달러의 정부 수입, 그러나 높은 인플레이션의 대가</h3>
관세가 완전히 시행될 경우, 연간 미 정부에 약 3,000억 달러의 수입이 발생할 것으로 골드만의 계산에 따르면 나타났다. 이는 GDP의 약 1%에 해당한다.
하지만 관세의 직접적인 효과는 국경 분쟁에 그치지 않고, 일상적인 미국인들의 지갑에도 영향을 미친다.
골드만삭스는 미국의 실질 관세율이 8.6% 상승하여 핵심 개인 소비 지출(PCE) 가격이 0.9% 상승할 것이라고 추정했다.
맥락적으로, 이러한 인플레이션적 영향은 트럼프의 첫 임기 동안 중국 및 자동차 수입을 겨냥한 이전 관세의 효과보다 세 배 더 크다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">결론: 무역 긴장의 귀환</h3>
트럼프의 최근 무역 발언은 글로벌 시장에 상당한 긴장을 재도입하며, 그의 첫 임기 동안의 관세 전쟁과 비교되고 있다.
멕시코와 캐나다에 대한 잠재적인 25% 관세는 경제학자와 투자자들이 인플레이션, 환율 변동성, 공급망 혼란 및 소비자 고통 등 광범위한 효과를 대비하도록 하고 있다.
트럼프의 강경한 전술은 종종 협상 전략으로 작용하지만, 이 제안의 규모는 그 여파가 1월 20일 이전에도 느껴질 것임을 보장한다.
