3 prediction markets price this story:

• Before Nov 1, 2026 — the market puts it at 29%, closing 1 Nov 2026. The outcome is Yes if Donald Trump announces a new or increased tariff on Canadian imports with a specific effective date between now and November 1, 2026. The outcome is No if no such official announcement occurs by that deadline. Readers often mistake general trade tensions or existing tariffs for the required new presidential action.
• a case primarily related to tariffs imposed by Donald Trump — the market puts it at 5%, with $6 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the Supreme Court agrees to hear a case mainly about tariffs set by Donald Trump before January 1, 2027. It resolves to No if the Court does not take such a case within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the linked news story about Iowa for the relevant event, but only a Supreme Court decision on tariff cases counts.
• Canada — the market puts it at 4%, with $25 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if Donald Trump physically travels to and stays within Canada's borders between now and January 1, 2027. The outcome is No if he does not make such a visit during that period. Readers often mistake the event for any official statement or diplomatic activity rather than requiring his actual physical presence in the country.
