  "summary": "Canadian industry groups are warning that President Donald Trump's new 50 per cent tariffs on U.S. trading partners, effective midnight, could create a \"crack in the CUSMA shield\" for Canadian businesses and exporters. The exemptions from these tariffs, which Canada and Mexico have enjoyed under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Free Trade Agreement (CUSMA), have so far buffered Canada against the worst impacts of the trade war. However, around two in five Canadian exporters said they currently export a product to the U.S. that would fall under the scope of the new tariffs, and more than three-quarters of these businesses expect to lose revenue if the tariffs go ahead. The new tariffs would affect nearly $28 billion in annual Canadian exports to the United States, representing more than five per cent of Canadian goods exports to the U.S., according to Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters.",
