Tariffs from the United States could come in to effect as early as Tuesday, and the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce says they will get valuable information from affected American states should the threat come to fruition.

CEO Rhonda Tulk-Lane says there are 34 states in America that have Canada as their number one trading partner, and if tariffs are put in place they are going to find out which cities will be impacted the most by the move.

As Tulk-Lane explains, that is information that can be used to the chamber’s advantage.

She says they will be comparing the biggest Atlantic Canadian trading partners with the US cities that are hurting the most, and then focusing on building relationships with the Chambers in those cities and building advocacy.
