Washington monte à 35% son tarif douanier sur certains produits canadiens

31 juillet 2025 à 21:25

Le tarif américain sur les produits non couverts par l’Accord Canada–États-Unis–Mexique passe aujourd’hui de 25% à 35%.

La Maison-Blanche justifie cette hausse annoncée hier par:

  • ce qu’elle qualifie d’inefficacité du Canada à freiner le trafic de fentanyl; 
  • les contre-mesures canadiennes aux tarifs américains.

Le premier ministre Mark Carney avait prévenu que les négociations avec Washington risquaient de ne pas aboutir avant le 1er août.

Les États-Unis ont conclu des ententes avec d’autres partenaires, dont: Corée du Sud, Royaume-Uni, Union européenne et Japon.

Washington a accordé au Mexique un nouveau sursis de 90 jours.

Le fentanyl circule surtout des États-Unis vers le Canada, selon une enquête

29 juillet 2025 à 20:57

Selon une enquête de l’agence la Presse Canadienne, l’investissement d’un milliard $ par Ottawa pour sécuriser la frontière canado-américaine repose sur une affirmation erronée de Donald Trump sur le trafic de fentanyl. 

Le Canada importerait en réalité beaucoup plus de cette drogue des États-Unis qu’il n’en exporte vers ce pays. 

Durant les 3 premiers mois de 2024:

  • L’Agence des services frontaliers du Canada n’a saisi que 4 grammes de fentanyl destiné aux États-Unis, contre 349 grammes en provenance du sud.
  • Les saisies à la frontière canadienne n’ont représenté qu’une infime partie du fentanyl saisi par des douaniers américains.

Le Canada et d’autres pays demandent la fin immédiate du conflit armé à Gaza

21 juillet 2025 à 20:51

La guerre à Gaza «doit cesser immédiatement», écrivent dans une déclaration commune les ministres des affaires étrangères du Canada et de 24 autres pays dont la France, le Royaume-Uni et l’Australie.

Ils lancent des appels aux deux parties impliquées dans le conflit:

Au Hamas, ils demandent la «libération immédiate et inconditionnelle» des otages retenus depuis le 7 octobre 2023.

À Israël, ils demandent la levée des restrictions qui, disent-ils, nuisent aux missions humanitaires visant à acheminer de l’aide à la population de Gaza.

Germany pledges five Patriots, Norway — billions for drones, as Ukraine’s new defense chief leads first major international push since taking office

21 juillet 2025 à 13:43

Russia launched over 400 drones on 21 July. The same day, Ukrainian allies announced 200,000 shells for the Gepard air defense system at the 29th meeting in the Ramstein format. 

The US initiated the Ukraine Defense Contact Group’s meeting in the Ramstein format in 2022. Its purpose is to coordinate international military aid to Ukraine. The meetings bring together more than 50 countries, including NATO states and members of the Coalition of the Willing. 

In addition, Ukrainian Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal, who took office on 17 July, stated that the US has initiated a new mechanism with NATO, allowing European countries to purchase American weapons specifically for Kyiv.

During the meeting, Germany announced it would contribute five Patriot systems, which will be delivered to Ukraine “soon.” Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed he had agreed with US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on supplying them, RBC-Ukraine reports. The Patriots are the only assets Ukraine has capable of intercepting Russian ballistic missiles. 

Berlin is also supplying over 200,000 shells for the Gepard system and will fund the procurement of Ukrainian long-range drones. 

“The parties will coordinate actions to achieve this goal in the coming days,” Pistorius added.

Other aid from allies:

  • Canada: 20 million CAD for the maintenance of Ukrainian tanks + support via the Danish model.
  • The Netherlands: €200 million for interceptor drones, €125 million for F-16 maintenance.
  • Norway: €1 billion for drones in 2025, including €400 million for Ukrainian manufacturers.
  • Sweden: Preparing a new package with air defense, artillery, and equipment.

This meeting was co-organized by the defense ministers of the United Kingdom and Germany, John Healey and Boris Pistorius. Representatives from 52 countries and international organizations participated in it.

Key guests included: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe General Christopher G. Cavoli, and EU High Representative Kaja Kallas.

According to Denys Shmyhal, the meeting was “more technical and coordination-focused,” concentrating on the procurement of American weapons for Ukraine.

He paid special attention to financial support: “Ukraine needs $6 billion to cover this year’s procurement deficit. This will enable us to create more FPV drones, more interceptor drones to counter ‘Shahed’ drones, and additional long-range weapons.”
