President Donald Trump has signed executive orders imposing 50% tariffs on a broad range of Canadian goods, according to The New York Times. The new duties are scheduled to take effect in 30 days.
The move marks a significant escalation in trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada. The scope of the affected products has not been detailed in the initial reports, but the tariff rate is notably higher than previous trade disputes.
