Trump Imposes 50% Tariffs on Canadian Imports Amid Trade Deal Uncertainty

The United States imposed 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian products, invoking a little-used 1930 trade law and citing uncertainty over the North American trade agreement, the Guardian reported. President Donald Trump had earlier signed proclamations that placed a 50% duty on about $20 billion of Canadian imports, linking the measures to alleged discrimination against U. S.

autos, dairy and alcohol and to smoke from Canadian wildfires. Justin Trudeau said the two countries would accelerate negotiations on a new trade pact, while Ontario Premier Doug Ford warned the tariffs would raise prices and threaten jobs on both sides of the border.
