I’ll keep fighting for a fair trade deal. I am hopeful Canada will return to the negotiating table and take a fair deal that recognizes the need of the United States to achieve more fair and balanced trade relationships. Until then, I will keep standing with the farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers across Southeast and South Central Missouri who’ve waited long enough for a fair shake.

Smith commits to keep fighting for a fair trade deal with Canada and to keep standing with Missouri farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers seeking fairer trade treatment.

The Sept. 8, 2026 proclamation says Canada "reneged on its commitment" and did not remove the discriminatory imposition; the U.S. modified 50% duties.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Within the lookback window, an official presidential action shows the Canada trade dispute remained unresolved and had escalated through amended tariff measures, undercutting any conclusion that a fair Canada trade arrangement had been fully secured as of Sept. 9, 2026.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Smith took concrete legislative action for a Canada-inclusive trade agreement by voting for USMCA implementation. This supports serious effort and partial delivery, though later official records show Canada-related fairness and enforcement disputes persisted.

Smith took concrete federal legislative action by voting for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act, which implemented a Canada-inclusive trade agreement during his House service and aligns with the promise to fight for fair trade benefiting Missouri agriculture and manufacturing. However, the broader promised outcome of a fair and balanced Canada trade relationship was not fully secured; the later 2026 presidential action described an unresolved and escalated Canada trade dispute. That supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
