Canada&#8217;s Foreign Minister Melanie Joly warned that proposed U.S. tariffs could force America to rely on Venezuelan oil imports, as tensions escalate ahead of President Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43353698/trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-loonie-peso-slide-oil-climbs">planned 25% levy on Canadian goods starting Feb. 1</a>.
What Happened: In an interview <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/bb8238b6-11c5-4d0c-a489-04f187ceb88c">with</a> the Financial Times, Joly emphasized Canada&#8217;s strategic importance as an oil supplier, noting that Canadian crude is currently sold at a discount to U.S. refiners in Texas. The warning comes as Trump confirmed sweeping tariffs against both Canada and Mexico, citing concerns over immigration, trade deficits, and drug trafficking.
"There's no other option on the table, and this administration doesn't want to work with Venezuela," Joly said.
The energy trade stakes are significant. Canada supplies approximately 20% of U.S. oil consumption and 60% of imported crude. Many U.S. refineries are specifically configured for the heavy crude grades produced by Canada and Venezuela, rather than the lighter oil from America&#8217;s shale fields.

Why It Matters: Markets reacted sharply to Trump&#8217;s announcement, with the Invesco CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXC#NYSE">FXC</a>) falling 0.6% and the USD/CAD rate climbing to 1.4480. The United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) saw initial gains as traders weighed supply chain implications.
Canadian officials are mounting a diplomatic offensive to prevent what could become the first major trade war of Trump&#8217;s potential new administration. Energy Minister Jonathan Wilkinson has threatened retaliatory tariffs on American goods, including steel and orange juice, while Ottawa has pledged $1 billion for border security improvements.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) declined in late trading Thursday as investors assessed the potential economic impact of escalating trade tensions between the longtime allies.

On Thursday, during Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43355688/apple-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-iphone-sales-slip-installed-base-climbs-to-all-time-high-our-best-quarter-ever">first-quarter earnings</a> call, CEO Tim Cook was questioned about the potential impact of President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariff policies on the company.
What Happened: When asked by analyst Atif Malik from Citi about the potential effects of tariffs on Apple&#8217;s products and consumer demand, Cook stated, &#8220;We are monitoring the situation and don&#8217;t have anything more to add than that.&#8221;
The lack of clarity from Cook comes as Apple navigates a complex global market, where tariffs could significantly impact its supply chain and pricing strategies.

Key Risks From Proposed Tariffs

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), even as the company ramps up its production facility with $6.6 billion in CHIPS Act funding.
Rising Consumer Prices: A 60% tariff on Chinese imports could drive smartphone prices up by 26%, potentially forcing Apple to add approximately $300 in taxes to a $1,000 iPhone. Chinese suppliers have been Apple&#8217;s largest group of suppliers since 2020, growing from 48 in 2022 to 52 in 2023.

Cook's Playbook For Navigating Tariffs
During the first Trump presidency from 2017 to 2021, Cook was a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42158580/how-tim-cooks-strategy-to-win-over-trump-gave-apple-a-competitive-edge-and-why-sundar-pichai-mark-zuckerberg-and-others-might-be-following-his-playbook">frequent visitor</a> to the White House. However, his interactions with the Joe Biden administration have been minimal.
In 2019, Cook successfully lobbied for Mac Pro tariff exemptions by gifting Trump a $6,000 unit and shifting limited production to Texas.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Cook contributed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42801809/apple-ceo-tim-cook-reportedly-donates-1-million-to-trump-inauguration-joins-ranks-of-mark-zuckerberg-jeff-bezos-and-sam-altman">$1 million to Trump&#8217;s</a> inaugural committee. This came after a Mar-a-Lago dinner meeting and post-election congratulations.
On Thursday, the iPhone maker reported fiscal <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43355688/apple-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-iphone-sales-slip-installed-base-climbs-to-all-time-high-our-best-quarter-ever">first-quarter revenue</a> of $124.3 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $124.13 billion.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock climbed 3.01% in after-hours trading, reaching $244.75. Earlier on Thursday, it closed at $237.59, down 0.74%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
