Trump threatens 50 percent tariff hike on Canadian goods

President Donald Trump announced a 50 percent tariff on some Canadian goods effective August 19, using Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The tariffs target exports like wine, honey, textiles, and furniture, and exclude exemptions under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. The move escalates tensions with Canada, which has retaliated against U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs.
