Trump imposes 50% additional tariffs on Canadian products, including USMCA goods
Donald Trump signed on July 21, 2026 a decree imposing 50% additional tariffs on several Canadian products, including wine, hockey sticks, and cement. These taxes take effect in one month, marking the first time goods covered by the USMCA—the United States-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement in force since July 2020—are targeted. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called the measure a "direct violation" of the USMCA and announced counter-measures. Energy, fish products, and critical minerals remain excluded. The tariffs affect more than 80% of Canadian exports to the United States.
