U.S. to slap 50% tariffs on Canadian goods

The Trump administration announced 50% tariffs on Canadian goods including hockey sticks, wine, and cement, citing Canadian discrimination against U.S. exports and policies favoring domestic production. The tariffs, under Section 338 of the Tariff Act, target $20 billion in imports and escalate tensions over USMCA disputes. Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney called the move a violation of the trade deal and pledged intensified negotiations.
