Trump's Tariff Wars Reignite as He Targets Canadian Goods
US President Donald Trump has reignited his tariff wars by imposing 50-per-cent tariffs on various Canadian goods. To justify this move, he invoked Section 338 of the Depression-era Tariff Act, which was last used in 1939.
This is not the first time Trump has turned to tariffs as a trade tool. His latest levies target a range of Canadian products, including those that could be hit by his previous tariff efforts. The move has sparked concerns about the impact on Canada's economy and industry.
According to a recent poll, only 16% of Americans rate economic conditions as good or excellent, compared to 33% of Canadians who describe their economy as good or very good.
