Trump Imposes 50% Tariffs on $20 Billion in Canadian Imports

President Trump signed proclamations on July 20, 2026, imposing 50% tariffs — taxes on imported goods — on nearly $20 billion in Canadian imports, including cars, wine, and hockey sticks, under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The tariffs take effect August 19. Energy, potash, fish, and critical minerals are excluded. USTR cited Canada's discriminatory treatment of U.S. exports.
