@saygoodnig66656 @petereharrell Cuz you slapped tariffs on lumber steel aluminum and auto in violation of the free trade agreement. Now whine about no booze being sold. lol. You don’t need anything from Canada. Apparently you do

Canadian provinces banned US liquor imports in February 2025.
US now puts tariffs on Canadian liquor imports into the US.
Amazed how some Canadians are "surprised" the US is doing this. Absolutely hilarious.
Doubly hilarious is that Canadians believe there is a genuine large constituency of Americans that think Canada is being treated unfairly and would take a position to reverse this if they were in power.
They will complain about what Trump is doing, yes. (Because, Trump)
But they will take the same bargaining position with Canada if they got in power, also yes.

Trump finally pulls the "Section 338" tariff trigger, on Canada! Quick reactions, with more analysis later:
1. The tariffs are under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, better known as the Smoot-Hawley tariff Act (of Ferris Bueller's Day Off fame). Section 338 hasn't been used since the 1930s or 1940s, and may never before have been used to impose tariffs.
2. On initial take, this looks like a substantial action, with a 50% headline tariff rate on many products. Unlike many other US tariffs on Canada, these tariffs apply *even to goods that meet USMCA rules of origin.* Many of Trump's other tariffs exclude USCMA-qualifying goods, and as a result a large share of Canadian exports to the U.S. have entered duty free. Goods covered include various foodstuffs and beverages; various wood products; paper; textiles; machinery; and other products. And hockey sticks. Tariffs will be effective starting August 19.
3. That said, some of the most important categories of U.S. imports from Canada are exempt from the new tariffs, including energy, potash, and products subject to 232 tariffs. AI's quick estimate for me is that maybe $40 billion of US imports are covered, which would be about 10% of total imports. (Take the AI estimate for what it is worth).
4. Section 338 purportedly allows the President to impose an additional tariff of up to 50% when he finds that a country has discriminated against U.S. products relative to third countries, e.g., Canada provides better terms to some foreign country than it provides to the U.S.
5. Trump is imposing the tariffs across three distinct actions under Section 338: one allegedly over Canadian discrimination against U.S. autos; one allegedly over Canadian discrimination against U.S. alcoholic beverages; and one allegedly over Canadian discrimination against U.S. dairy.
6. This represents the first use of Section 338 since the 1930s or 1940s, and the statute may not in fact have actually been used to impose tariffs before. In 1935 for example the President made a finding of discrimination under 338 but did not impose tariffs. Covington did an interesting piece on Section 338 a decade ago, which I'll link to in a reply.
7. Assuming the tariffs do in fact come into force (e.g., there is not a negotiated resolution with Canada), this will make for interesting legal challenges. There are a variety of arguments that could be made about whether 338 might require an ITC investigation prior to a Presidential finding; about whether it has been implicitly repealed by later statutes; and about what its discrimination requirements actually mean. Yet another new one for the courts....

@gmforbes35 @erinotoole Maybe they have a 100 trade issues with them that way more important to resolve

@erinotoole He didn't threaten new tariffs on Mexico.
Maybe because they are actually acting like adults and holding formal negotiations.
Maybe tell you new bestie Mark to put the country over his polling numbers.

Keep calm and carry on Canada.
Two thoughts on the timing of the latest tariff pronouncement. First, it came the same day the 3rd most popular podcast in the US - NYT’s The Daily - featured the USTR delivering a weak defence of US Tariff policy and its impact on consumers. 1/3

NEW - Trump imposed new tariffs on Canada. In doing so, the White House cites the US alcohol bans by Ontario & other provinces, saying it “Burdens U.S. commerce” noting that “Canadian imports of U.S. alcoholic beverages decreased by approximately 81%” whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
