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 disputes over autos, alcohol, and dairy products. The tariffs, under Section 338 of the 1930 Trade Act, exclude energy, potash, fish, and critical minerals but include goods previously protected by the USMCA trade pact. Canada risks a broader trade war, with officials and organizations urging negotiations to avoid economic escalation.
