Trump adopts unprecedented trade measure
President Donald Trump invoked a rarely used provision of the 1930 Tariff Act to impose 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, marking the first time this authority has been used by a U.S. president. The tariffs target products including wine, hockey sticks, cement, dairy, and furniture, and are expected to take effect within 30 days. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney criticized the move as a violation of trade agreements, while experts noted that the decision introduces greater legal and economic uncertainty into U.S.-Canada trade relations. The tariffs are part of broader efforts by the Trump administration to protect American industries amid rising trade tensions and increased tariff collections.
