“The country’s national value has observed a small significant change in the last week, as the oil markets continue to face pressure on the sale. However, as President Trump imposes tariffs for Canada and Mexico, some motorists can see gas prices in certain regions, “said Patrick de Haan, head of oil analysis at Gasbuddy.

“Trump’s new trade war has already sparked vengeful rates for goods in the United States, escalating tensions. While on paper tariffs on Canadian energy could have a significant impact on fuel prices, prolonged trade war can weaken global economies, reducing demand and partially offset the effects of tariffs, “de Haan said. “So far, I expect a slow but modest impact on fuel prices, especially in the Great Lakes, the Midwest, the Rocks and the Northeastern United States – all markets that rely heavily on Canadian crude oil or the refined import of Canada products.”
