lost nearly which of U.S. Chairperson Donald ruff’s tariffs ar still hitting Canadian goods? You’ve come to the right place.
Here is a straightforward guide to the tariffs that are currently imposed on Canada’s exports to the U.S, the products that are affected, and the laws that Trump is using to pursue his trade war.
Section 232 is the legislation that Trump has used to impose the bulk of his tariffs targeting specific industry sectors. The law gives the U.S. President the authority to impose tariffs to protect American industries on the basis of a threat to national security identified by a Commerce Department investigation.
Given the interconnected nature of North American auto production, Trump's tariffs on the auto sector feature some extremely complicated rules.
Section 122 says the president can impose a temporary tariff of up to 15 per cent to address what it describes “large and serious United States balance-of-payments deficits."
No president has used this provision since the act was passed in 1974. The tariff is limited to 150 days without congressional approval.
The exemption means nearly 90 per cent of the value Canadian exports to the U.S. Are not subject to this tariff.
Trump imposed these global tariffs after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down his previous regime as unconstitutional, including levies on Canada imposed ostensibly over cross-border fentanyl trafficking.
