Consensus
- President Donald Trump signed proclamations imposing additional 50% tariffs on Canadian goods.
- The tariffs are in response to alleged discrimination by Canada against American products such as automobiles, alcohol, and dairy.
- The measures will take effect in 30 days.
- Tariffs do not apply to energy products, critical minerals, fish, and certain items regulated by existing sectoral tariffs (e.g., vehicles and metals).

- The tariffs cover Canadian imports worth $20 billion.
