Escalation: Trump announces 50% tariffs on Canadian goods
Donald Trump signed three proclamations under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to impose 50 percent tariffs on a wide range of Canadian imports. The duties take effect in 30 days, on August 19.
Covered items include wine, hockey sticks, cement, dairy products, and some wood products. Energy, potash, fish, critical minerals, and goods already under Section 232 are excluded.
The proclamations cite Canadian tariffs and quotas on U.S. autos and provincial limits on the distribution of U.S. alcohol in all but two provinces and territories. The measures largely target goods that had entered the United States duty free under CUSMA and would affect about five percent of Canadian exports to the U.S.
