Trump imposes 50% US tariffs on some Canadian goods, citing discrimination

Al Jazeera · back to the audit

US President Donald Trump will impose new 50 percent tariffs on many Canadian goods, claiming "discriminatory treatment" by Ottawa against US alcohol, automobile and dairy products. The tariffs, ordered by Trump on Monday, will take effect in 30 days and cover a range of items, including wine, hockey sticks, and cement, according to a White House fact sheet. The measures will hit products covered under the US-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement (USMCA). Responding to the announcement, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that the tariffs were a "direct violation" of the USMCA, and added that his country was "ready to intensify... discussions" to resolve disputes with the US. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer: "Canada has taken US alcohol products off Canadian shelves, given better market access to dairy products from the European Union, and has put a cap on US vehicle exports to Canada from companies reshoring to the United States."
