Trump imposes 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, risking economic chaos

This move, enacted under Section 338 of the 1930 Trade Act, could lead to significant economic disruption, including increased inflation and strained U.S.-Canada relations. The tariffs are set to take effect in 30 days, allowing time for potential negotiations, though Canadian officials have indicated a retaliatory response if they proceed. AI
