- US imposes new 50pc tariffs on $20bn worth of Canadian products
The US imposed 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian imports, citing discriminatory practices against American goods. The tariffs, effective in 30 days, target products like wine, cement, and hockey gear under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930. Canada's government criticized the move, offering proposals to resolve disputes and accusing Trump of violating trade agreements.
