Trump orders new 50% tariff on many Canadian goods, escalating trade war

South China Morning Post · back to the audit

US President Donald Trump signed orders on Monday to impose new 50 per cent tariffs on many Canadian goods, claiming "discriminatory treatment" by Ottawa against American alcohol, automobile and dairy products. The tariffs will take effect in 30 days and cover various items including wine, hockey sticks and cement, according to the White House. Trump invoked Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 for these duties after tariffs were struck down by the Supreme Court earlier this year. Carney stood ready to "intensify" talks with the United States and had "made proposals to resolve disputes and modernise the USMCA."
