Trump imposes 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, citing disputes over autos, alcohol and cheese

President Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on most Canadian goods, citing unfair discrimination against American autos, alcohol, and dairy products. The tariffs, justified under Section 338 of the 1930 Trade Act, exclude energy products and critical minerals but target goods previously protected by the USMCA trade pact. The move risks economic chaos, higher inflation, and strained U.S.-Canada relations, with tariffs set to take effect in 30 days.
