Trump hits Canada with 50% tariff on goods over autos, alcohol and cheese

President Donald Trump on Monday imposed 50% tariffs on most Canadian goods, escalating a trade dispute over autos, alcohol, and dairy products. Trump declared that Canada has unfairly discriminated against American products in these sectors, prompting the steep tariff action. The move, which covers a wide range of Canadian exports, threatens to disrupt the longstanding trade relationship between the two nations. Canadian officials have signaled potential retaliatory measures, raising fears of a broader trade war that could impact consumers and businesses on both sides of the border.
