President Donald Trump’s additional 50% tariff on a slew of Canadian goods is likely to complicate the administration’s talks on Tuesday in Mexico on the US-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement, which Trump has indicated he wants to exit.
The tariffs, which officials characterized as a response to Canada’s “discriminatory” practices, affect goods ranging from wine to hockey sticks and will formally take effect in 30 days.
“I’m not a fan of tariffs.
Canada, I worry they’re not engaging,” said Rep. Adrian Smith, R-Neb.
And the move could be subject to legal challenges: Trump signed the tariffs pursuant to Section 338 of the Tariff Act.
