Brampton creating Mayor’s Tariff Task Force in response to Trump’s impending tariffs

Brampton is responding to U.S. tariffs with the creation of a Mayor’s Tariff Task Force, aiming to diversify trade, reduce provincial trade barriers, and engage U.S. stakeholders. The task force will also focus on building a more resilient local economy less dependent on U.S. markets. Mayor Patrick Brown emphasized the importance of adapting to new trade conditions while minimizing disruption. The initiative is part of Brampton’s broader strategy to prioritize local and global trade opportunities.
