Trump Wants Trade Partners To &#39;Start Paying,&#39; Plans External Revenue Service To Oversee Tariffs


With incoming president Donald Trump&#39;s focus on tariffs as a means of controlling trade, investors might reasonably expect that the cost of importing some international goods could substantially increase after the

President-elect Donald Trump has made tariffs one of the most talked about items ahead of his inauguration on Jan. 20. So far, he has not backed down from plans to place or increase tariffs on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">various trade partners</a>, including Canada, Mexico and China.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Trump took things a step further by naming a new agency tasked with overseeing tariffs.
"For far too long, we have relied on taxing our Great People using the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Though soft and pathetically weak Trade agreements, the American Economy has delivered growth and prosperity to the World, while taxing ourselves," Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113827650534234057">said </a>in a post on Truth Social. "I am today announcing that I will create the EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE to collect our Tariffs, Duties and all Revenue that come from Foreign sources."
Trump intends for Jan. 20 — inauguration day — to be the birthdate for the so-called &#8220;External Revenue Service.&#8221; Normally, a new law would need to be passed first to create a new bureau or statutory body.
"We will begin charging those that make money off of us with Trade, and they will start paying, FINALLY, their fair share,&#8221; Trump added. 
It&#8217;s worth noting that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), under the Department of Homeland Security, already oversees tariffs and revenue from foreign countries. Its key functions include collecting customs duties and tariffs. The CBP also enforces trade laws and ensures revenue accountability as one of the federal government's largest revenue collectors.
Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers are already scrutinizing Trump&#8217;s External Revenue Service plan. "No amount of silly rebranding will hide the fact that Trump is planning a multi-trillion-dollar tax hike on American families and small businesses to pay for another round of tax handouts to the rich," Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, <a href="https://www.finance.senate.gov/chairmans-news/wyden-statement-on-trumps-so-called-external-revenue-service">said</a> in a statement.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Trump's plans to place tariffs on three of the country's largest trade partners have led to many question marks on how the other countries will respond and if items will get more expensive for American consumers as a trade off.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/12/42536470/costco-warns-that-tariffs-raise-prices-trump-team-says-trade-policies-will-make-life-affordable">Retail executives</a> Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) and Dollar Tree (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) have already warned about tariffs on earnings calls. Tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42402629/trump-to-change-dollar-stores-for-good-dollar-tree-exec-says-prepared-to-act">could mean higher prices</a> for consumers, less product assortment or a change to product sizes, they say.
Trump joked that Canada <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42300450/trump-told-trudeau-canada-could-avoid-tariffs-by-becoming-51st-state-a-look-at-sectors-trade-war-could-impact">could become the</a> 51st state of America to avoid tariffs. While the country <a href="https://apnews.com/article/canada-trump-chretien-51st-state-ad9749047d0b627eed56be22f43ea7cd">isn't ready</a> to do that, a new report signals the country could be working on avoiding the tariffs.
Canadian ambassador Kirsten Hillman said Canada is prepared to buy more items from the U.S., as <a href="https://apnews.com/article/canada-ambassador-us-trump-hillman-9ced5ba12cd6526a2bbb4a810fa9af18">reported </a>by the Associated Press. The move would ensure that there is not a deficit for America in its trade with Canada.
Hillman warned that a plan to put tariffs on all Canadian products will lead to prices going up for Americans.
"And at a time when the cost of living is challenging, when food prices are high, it seems like the wrong direction to go in," Hillman said.
Top items exported from Canada to the U.S. include oil, gas and automotive parts. These industries could see higher-priced goods under Trump's tariff plan.
Large Canadian oil companies Suncor Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SU#NYSE">SU</a>), Enbridge (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENB#NYSE">ENB</a>), Canadian Natural Resources (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNQ#NYSE">CNQ</a>) and TC Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRP#NYSE">TRP</a>) could face significant impacts from the tariffs and a potential blow to the sector.
Railway company Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CP#NYSE">CP</a>) and trucking companies Old Dominion Freight Line (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ODFL#NASDAQ">ODFL</a>) and Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KNX#NYSE">KNX</a>) could also be impacted by the tariffs and the negative impact on trade between the United States and Canada.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has recently shown a serious focus on migration and security, two of Trump's vocal demands to keep the U.S. from placing tariffs on the country, as reported by Reuters.
Sheinbaum has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/01/42895985/trump-and-mexican-president-sheinbaum-spirited-clash-over-territorial-renaming-tariffs-and-cartels">publicly sparred with Trump</a>, but it remains to be seen if she will be able to avoid tariffs for Mexico.
Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Honda Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) are among the automotive companies that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42688941/are-us-vehicles-under-30000-a-thing-of-the-past-trumps-mexico-tariff-plans-could-change-auto-market">have sub-$30,000 vehicles </a>that are partially or fully built in Mexico and Canada.
Higher tariffs on China could rattle the American economy as the country remains a major source of many exported goods. To get ahead of potential tariff increases, China saw its exports up 10.7% in the month of December, NPR <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/01/13/nx-s1-5258024/china-exports-us-tariffs">reported</a>.
The growth was higher than estimates of 7% and could show that companies and China are taking proactive approaches to get ahead of higher-costing goods.

The decrease in LTL tons per day was attributable to a 6.8% decrease in LTL shipments per day and a 1.2% decrease in LTL weight per shipment.&nbsp;
For the quarter-to-date period, LTL revenue per hundredweight decreased 1.2% as compared to the same period last year and LTL revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharges, increased 3.7% as compared to the same period last year.
Marty Freeman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Old Dominion, commented, "Our revenue results for November reflect the continued softness in the domestic economy as well as the impact of lower fuel surcharge revenue on our yields."

President-elect Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau&#8216;s meeting last week about planned tariffs on Canada was said to be productive, but it could put several Canadian sectors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/11/42212364/trumps-tariff-threat-to-canada-may-disrupt-oil-markets-inflate-prices-would-likely-raise-the-price-of-fuels-says-analyst">on high alert.</a>
What Happened: Trudeau flew to Mar-a-Lago to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/42252924/canadian-pm-justin-trudeau-warns-trumps-25-tariff-plan-will-hurt-americans-at-high-stakes-dinner">meet with Trump</a>, and the two political leaders ate dinner and discussed several key topics before Trump's January inauguration.
The meeting took place after Trump promised to impose 25% tariffs on Canada when he was sworn into office.
Trudeau told Trump the tariffs would hurt Canada's economy, according to sources at the dinner table, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-suggests-canada-become-51st-state-after-trudeau-said-tariff-would-kill-economy-sources">per </a>Fox News.
The tariffs are being placed on Canada and Mexico due to illegal immigrants and illegal drugs flowing from those countries to the United States.
Sources said Trump was direct regarding his conversation with Trudeau, telling the Canadian leader that his country has failed to protect the border. Trump also wants to eliminate the trade deficit with Canada, estimated to be around $100 billion, according to the sources.
"So your country can't survive unless it's ripping off the US to the tune of $100 billion?" Trump reportedly said to Trudeau about the trade deficit.
The report said that if Canada can't survive with the requirements of protecting the border and fixing the trade deficit, Trump suggested that the neighboring country could become the 51st state instead.
Trudeau and others at the table nervously laughed at the suggestion, with Trump reportedly adding that the title of prime minister is better than governor. As the meeting concluded, talks between Trump and Trudeau were said to have been "very positive."

</ul>
Why It's Important: The report said Trump told Trudeau he expected changes to be made ahead of his January inauguration, or the tariffs would be placed on Canada on his first day in office.
A tariff on Canada could impact several sectors, including some of the top exporters to the United States. Crude oil, petroleum gas, vehicles, car parts, machinery, turbines, plastics, pharmaceuticals, metals and agricultural products are among the top exported items from Canada to America, as <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/11/26/what-us-imports-canada-mexico-china-trump-tariffs/">reported </a>by the Washington Post.
Large Canadian oil companies Suncor Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SU#NYSE">SU</a>), Enbridge (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENB#NYSE">ENB</a>), Canadian Natural Resources (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNQ#NYSE">CNQ</a>) and TC Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRP#NYSE">TRP</a>) could face significant impacts from the tariffs and a potential blow to the sector.
Railway company Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CP#NYSE">CP</a>) and trucking companies Old Dominion Freight Line (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ODFL#NASDAQ">ODFL</a>) and Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KNX#NYSE">KNX</a>) could also be impacted by the tariffs and the negative impact on trade between the United States and Canada.
Canadian ETFs like the iShares MSCI Canada Index Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWC#NYSE">EWC</a>), JPMorgan BetaBuilders Canada ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBCA#BATS">BBCA</a>), Franklin FTSE Canada ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLCA#NYSE">FLCA</a>) and Invesco CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXC#NYSE">FXC</a>) could also be impacted by the potential trade war.
Canada is the second-largest trade partner with the United States, with $418 billion in goods imported from Canada in 2023 and $354 billion in goods exported to the country.
Goldman Sachs economists predict that Canada's gross domestic product<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42291861/trumps-tariff-plan-risks-economic-pain-for-north-america-goldman-sachs-warns" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> could decline</a> by as much as 4% if Trump&#8217;s 25% tariff plan is enacted. The plan could also hurt the U.S. GDP, the analysis said.
"A large increase in tariffs on North American imports would entail significant economic costs, particularly for Canada and Mexico," Goldman Sachs economists said.

Trump Told Trudeau Canada Could Dodge Tariffs As 51st State: Which Sectors Could Be Hit

President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s move to impose 25% tariffs on Canada can thwart the growth of the stock markets and affect corporate profits, inflation, transportation and oil marketing companies.
What Happened: This comes as Goldman Sachs head of commodities research, Daan Struyven told <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-27/goldman-sees-significant-hit-to-us-from-trump-s-canada-tariffs">Bloomberg </a>that &#8220;The 25% levy on all products from Canada proposed by Trump would likely raise the price of fuels in the U.S.&#8221;
&#8220;He said that tariffs could significantly affect U.S. consumers, U.S. refiners, and Canadian producers," on Wednesday. In order for American producers to export more of their own oil, the U.S. imports almost 4 million barrels of Canadian crude a day. Struyven added that this could be a &#8220;negotiating tool.&#8221;
"Given the focus from Trump to lower energy costs, we think Canada tariffs are somewhat unlikely,&#8221; he added
U.S. and Canada along with Mexico signed the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement as an update to North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA in 2020. It allowed for mostly duty-free trade between the three countries. Trump&#8217;s threat of tariffs would seem to violate the terms.

Why It Matters: As higher Canadian tariffs could raise the domestic fuel prices in the U.S., it will impact the corporate profits of many companies and increase both, consumer and producer price inflation.
The input costs of transportation and oil marketing companies can increase, which may lower their profits and stock prices. Also, investors may want to short the stocks of these companies when oil prices are high.
A few of the many transportation companies that would get affected by this include, Union Pacific Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNP#NYSE">UNP</a>), CSX Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSX#NASDAQ">CSX</a>), Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>), Old Dominion Freight Line Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ODFL#NASDAQ">ODFL</a>), TFI International Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TFII#NYSE">TFII</a>), Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KNX#NYSE">KNX</a>), XPO Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPO#NYSE">XPO</a>) and Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>).
Similarly, companies like Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), BP plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>), TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>), Shell PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>), Enbridge Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENB#NYSE">ENB</a>), and ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) are a few oil marketing companies that my bear the direct brunt of this.

Argus Research Downgrades Old Dominion Freight Line to Hold

Old Dominion Freight Line Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ODFL#NASDAQ">ODFL</a>) just reaffirmed its status as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/shipping">the gold standard</a> in less-than-truckload (LTL) freight, according to JPMorgan analyst Brian Ossenbeck, who recently pored over insights from the 2024 Mastio Survey.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Old Dominion's Playbook: The Industry's Gold Standard For 15 Years</h2>
The survey, with feedback from roughly 1,600 shippers, showcases Old Dominion's dominance in an industry where rivals are scrambling to catch up.
Despite the buzz around newer strategies, Ossenbeck's analysis indicates that Old Dominion still has a substantial lead. Peers like XPO Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPO#NYSE">XPO</a>) and Saia Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAIA#NASDAQ">SAIA</a>) may be adopting aspects of Old Dominion's "playbook". They&#8217;ve been prioritizing service, improving network efficiency, and leveraging pricing power. But even after implementing these strategies, they've only narrowed the gap by 7%. 
Ossenbeck puts it simply—executing Old Dominion's playbook is easier said than done.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ArcBest, XPO Make Gains, While TForce, Saia Lag</h2>
Among the pack, ArcBest Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARCB#NASDAQ">ARCB</a>) and XPO made notable strides in 2024. 
ArcBest showed the largest service improvement, with strong gains in on-time pickup and delivery, key metrics for shippers. 
XPO, with its LTL 2.0 strategy, also achieved robust performance gains, especially with smaller shippers. Meanwhile, Estes held steady, maintaining a high service level but not outpacing peers in improvement.
At the other end of the spectrum, TForce Freight is struggling with cost efficiencies and service expectations. Saia, despite a network expansion, saw its service performance slip, a trend Ossenbeck expects to stabilize in the coming year.
And then there's FedEx Freight – which has the second-slowest performance improvement among national carriers.
For 15 years running, Old Dominion has been the reigning champ in LTL freight, while peers have been taking notes. According to Ossenbeck, OD's mastery in service, pricing, and network efficiency keeps it miles ahead – leaving everyone else playing catch-up.
