Claim 4: “our exports to the United States fell by about 4 percent”
DISPUTED
There is conflicting data regarding the percentage drop. One source (Highlights of Canada’s merchandise trade performance – 2025) states exports to the U.S. decreased by 5.3% in 2025, while another (Research to Insights) mentions a fall of almost 16% in April 2025. The claim of 'about 4 percent' is close to the 4.8% total merchandise trade decrease, but specific export figures vary across sources.
