Trump imposes 50% tariff on Canadian imports
US President Donald Trump has imposed a 50% tariff on a wide range of goods imported from Canada, in retaliation for what he called "unequal treatment" of US cars, dairy and alcohol.
Instead, the three proclamations list US trade irritants that were previously known to Canada related to cars, dairy and alcohol - signalling a breakdown of trade negotiations between the two countries.
Washington also charges a 35% tariff on Canadian softwood lumber, alongside a 25% tax on non-US parts in cars.
