Trump imposes 50% tariffs on some Canadian goods
Trump Canada tariffs target imports as trade tensions escalate See what the new 50% duties could mean for U.S.-Canada commerce
The Trump administration said Monday it will impose additional 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods, citing alleged discrimination against U.S. products and industries.
According to senior officials, President Donald Trump signed three proclamations targeting different categories of Canadian imports. The tariffs are expected to take effect 30 days after the signings under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930.
The move adds to growing trade tensions between the United States and Canada, whose longstanding partnership has been strained by Trump’s broader tariff policies and criticism of the North American trade framework.
