U.S. President Donald Trump has signed three proclamations imposing 50 percent tariffs on "certain goods of Canada" in response to what the White House claims is Canada's "discriminatory treatment of American products."
The tariffs target hockey sticks and cement among other items, excluding energy, potash, fish, and critical minerals. The White House said the move aims to offset the burden on U.S. commerce and level the playing field for crucial American exports including cars, alcohol, and dairy.
The tariffs are set to take effect 30 days after signing. The White House also cited Canada's auto import tariffs and quota administration, claiming the country compels U.S. auto companies to invest in production in Canada rather than the United States.
Last week, Trump threatened tariffs while criticizing Canada's wildfire response, saying the U.S. is being "unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air."
