1. Trump Administration's 50% Tariff on Canadian Goods

- Alcohol products
- Dairy exports
The tariff is presented as a way to protect:
- American workers

The policy reportedly uses Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, a rarely used authority allowing tariffs on countries deemed to discriminate against U.S. commerce.
Not all Canadian goods would be affected:
- Energy products
- Fish
- Critical minerals
- Other strategic goods are reportedly exempt.
The commentary argues that Canada depends more on access to the U.S. market than vice versa and predicts Canada may eventually negotiate.
