> Trump signed an order imposing 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada and 10% on Chinese imports, effective February 4. Mexico and Canada announced retaliatory tariffs, and Mexico's planned tariffs were paused for a month for negotiations. A Yorkton grain miller said oats and oat products face US tariffs, and there is little US capacity to replace lost Canadian imports.

## Why it matters

The US grows almost no oats and imports about 92% of its consumption, so tariffs on Canadian oats could tighten US supply and support prices for Canadian oats and oat products, while disrupting established trade flows.
