Today, we have a special treat for our listeners—an in-depth episode of the Markets Plus podcast by BMO Capital Markets. In this panel discussion, you’ll hear how U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump’s threats to impose a 25% tariff on all Canadian and Mexican products may be a way to bargain with important trade partners but it doesn’t diminish the urgent need for North American markets to prepare for potential duties.
Allison Hakomaki is Head, National Agriculture, Public Sector & Emerging Industries, BMO Commercial Bank, Canada. She is joined on the podcast by Steve Verheul, Former Chief Trade Negotiator for Canada, Doug Porter, Chief Economist, BMO Financial Group, and Yung-Yu Ma, Chief Investment Officer, BMO Wealth Management - U.S. This episode was recorded on Thursday, December 5, 2024.
