Supply Chains Brace for 50% Tariff on $20B Canada Imports
Logistics and procurement leaders get a 72-hour reprieve as U.S.-Canada trade talks narrowly avoid a 50% tariff on $20 billion in Canadian goods.

Planners should prepare for both a late-night deal and a tariff-triggered disruption at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 22.
