Trump Tariff Threat Can't Dampen Bitcoin's Momentum
Bitcoin briefly dipped below $78,200 after President Trump announced plans to impose 50% tariffs on Canadian vehicles and steel starting in 2027. The cryptocurrency quickly recovered to around $79,300 due to strong market momentum and increased demand from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs.
The tariff threat adds uncertainty to U.S.-Canada trade, potentially impacting vehicle prices and supply chains. Canada plans retaliatory tariffs starting September 8.
The situation remains fluid with over four months before the tariffs would take effect, leaving room for renewed negotiations.
