Trump Slaps 50% Tariffs on Canada | Santa Fe News

Trump just slapped a 50% tariff on most Canadian goods, accusing Canada of unfair trade practices in cars, booze, and dairy — a move that could spark a major trade war and drive up prices for American families. While energy, fish, and critical minerals are exempt, the tariffs target items previously shielded by the USMCA, rattling business leaders and economists who warn of global economic fallout. Canada’s PM Mark Carney vows to negotiate, while the White House insists Canada discriminates against U.S. products. This isn’t the first time Trump has targeted Canada — past tariffs were tied to fentanyl and other issues — and experts call this a “nuclear option” that could spiral into years of tense negotiations.
