So who really is he? I'm Sam Mullins and this is Sea of Lies from CBC's Uncovered, available now.

would be set at 25% for Canada and Mexico. But at this point, we haven't seen any official details, including whether any goods would be exempt. On Friday, Trump said Canadian oil and gas will face 10% tariffs in a couple of weeks and said levies will be imposed on Canadian copper too, but not till later. And that's not all. Eventually, we're going to put tariffs on chips. We're going to put tariffs on oil and gas.

Canadian government officials have also done their best to lobby against the tariffs, but in Trump for exemptions, warning of higher prices and wide supply chain issues.

assault. Federal government sources have told CBC News the Trump administration has said if retaliatory tariffs are imposed, the tariffs will be raised.
