A list of some of the items the U . S . is slapping with a 50 per cent tariff

The United States is set to impose a 50 per cent tariff on a variety of Canadian exports beginning this Saturday. The decision follows the expiration of a deadline set by President Donald Trump, during which the two nations failed to reach a new trade agreement.

The implementation of these tariffs marks a significant escalation in trade tensions between the two countries. The measures will affect a wide range of goods, though specific items have not been detailed beyond the scope of the announced policy.
