Atlantic Chamber of Commerce Stands Ready to Support Businesses in Face of Potential U.S. Tariffs
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 31,2025
Windsor, NS – The Atlantic Chamber of Commerce (ACC) is prepared to work alongside its 90 members, the Federal Government, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, and the four Atlantic Provinces to deliver critical relief to businesses should U.S. President Donald Trump impose 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, effective February 1.
“Atlantic Canadian businesses are resilient, but the impact of such tariffs would be deeply felt across our region,” said Rhonda Tulk-Lane, CEO of the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce. “We are committed to working with all levels of government and our partners to ensure businesses have the support they need to weather this challenge and access new markets.”
