Donald Trump to impose 50% tariff on most Canadian goods, White House says

Core point

Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on most Canadian goods due to perceived unfair discrimination against US products. The tariffs will affect a wide range of items, including wine and hockey sticks, but will exclude energy products and critical minerals. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that his government has made proposals to resolve trade disputes with the US. The tariffs are set to take effect in 30 days, allowing time for potential negotiations.
