Trump hits Canada with 50 per cent tariffs over “discriminatory” trade practices
U.S. President Donald Trump is imposing sweeping 50 per cent tariffs in retaliation for Canada’s long-standing supply management tariffs, and retaliatory measures against Trump’s other tariffs.
U.S. President Donald Trump signed three executive orders on Monday, imposing a sweeping 50 per cent tariff on Canadian imports, retaliating against Canada’s anti-American “discriminatory” trade measures.
The tariffs cite provincial and territorial boycotts on American alcohol products, retaliatory tariffs against U.S.-made vehicles and auto parts, and trade restrictions on U.S. dairy products as part of Canada’s long-standing supply management regime.
