WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Trump on Monday imposed 50% tariffs on most Canadian goods, declaring that Canada has unfairly discriminated against American autos, alcohol and dairy products.<\/span><\/p>\n

The move could unleash a new wave of economic chaos, with risks of higher inflation and further fraying of relations between two nations that had been closely woven together before Trump\u2019s return to the White House. The administration official previewing the action said that Canada was one of the only nations other than China that retaliated against Trump\u2019s previous tariffs and must be held accountable.<\/span><\/p>\n

The official insisted on anonymity on a call with reporters to preview the president\u2019s actions and said that Trump signed three proclamations to launch the tariffs under Section 338 of the 1930 Trade Act. Several Democratic lawmakers last year proposed repealing the section because they said Trump could use it to destabilize the economy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 50% tariffs would exclude energy products, potash, fish and critical minerals, but they would include goods that had previously been protected from import taxes by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA. That 2020 trade pact recently expired and triggered a new set of negotiations that could run until 2036.<\/span><\/p>\n

The official said that Trump had also requested that his aides look into additional tariffs on Canada because its wildfires hurt air quality in the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n
