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

President Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on most Canadian goods, citing disputes over autos, alcohol, and dairy products. The tariffs, under Section 338 of the 1930 Trade Act, exclude energy products, potash, fish, and critical minerals but apply to goods previously protected by the expired USMCA trade pact. The move risks economic instability and strained U.S.-Canada relations.
