Trump's Tariff Tangle: A Recipe for Economic Chaos President Donald Trump has imposed 50% tariffs on most Canadian goods under Section 338 of the 1930 Trade Act.
This move is not merely a response to alleged discrimination against American autos, alcohol, and dairy products but also an escalation of tensions with one of America's closest allies.
The timing of this decision is striking, coming as it does on the heels of Trump's meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the World Cup final.
