Will Bitcoin Price Decline Continue As Donald Trump Threatens Canada Trade Retaliation?

Bitcoin’s price has surged above $88,000 despite ongoing market uncertainty fueled by escalating trade tensions between the United States and Canada.

However, the cryptocurrency market remains volatile as investors react to President Donald Trump’s latest tariff measures, which have triggered a series of retaliatory actions. As the trade dispute intensifies, analysts are watching whether Bitcoin will maintain its recovery or face another downturn.

Donald Trump Threatens Canada with Trade Retaliation

According to a recent post on X by U.S. President Donald Trump, the United States will impose additional tariffs if Canada follows through with its retaliatory measures. Trump warned that any tariff increase from Canada would be met with an equal or greater response from the U.S.

Canada announced a 25% tariff on $20.5 billion worth of U.S. imports in response to the new trade restrictions. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned the tariffs, calling them unfair and harmful to businesses on both sides of the border. “We will relentlessly fight to protect Canada’s economy,” Trudeau said in a televised statement.

Mexico has also indicated that it may announce its own countermeasures by the end of the week. Meanwhile, China has already imposed new tariffs on several U.S. agricultural products, raising concerns about further disruptions to global trade.

Bitcoin Price Volatility Amid Trade Disputes

Bitcoin’s price remains unstable as traders monitor the impact of global trade conflicts. After briefly dropping below $82,000 following the tariff announcement, Bitcoin price rebounded to $88,313. However, the cryptocurrency is still down 7% in the past 24 hours and 16% over the last month.

Market analysts have pointed to Trump’s economic policies as a key factor influencing Bitcoin price movements. The trade war has led to increased uncertainty in traditional markets, driving some investors toward cryptocurrencies. However, sharp fluctuations in Bitcoin’s value suggest that traders remain cautious about the long-term effects of these tariffs.

Ethereum and Solana also experienced declines, retracing earlier gains from Trump’s recent push for a U.S. “strategic crypto reserve.” The drop in crypto prices followed a surge on Sunday when Bitcoin briefly reached $94,800 before selling pressure brought it down again increasing tensions on BTC price stuck between $70k and $90K.

Crypto Investors Await White House Crypto Summit

The White House is set to hold its first Crypto Summit on Friday, where officials are expected to discuss plans for a national cryptocurrency strategy. Investors are closely watching for any announcements related to tax policies or regulatory measures that could impact Bitcoin’s future price.

Rumors circulating on social media suggest that Eric Trump and crypto advocate David Bailey may have revealed details about a potential “no capital gains tax” on American-based cryptocurrencies. If confirmed, such a policy could trigger another price rally, pushing Bitcoin back above the $100,000 mark.

Meanwhile, major exchanges have reported a surge in Bitcoin inflows, with traders moving large amounts of the cryptocurrency in anticipation of further price swings. Analysts believe that Bitcoin’s price direction will depend on both the outcome of the summit and developments in the ongoing trade dispute.
