Is Trump using forced labour claims to justify new tariffs on Canada?
Description
Joseph Steinberg, economics professor at the University of Toronto, discusses the Trump administration's latest tariff strategy against Canada. He explains how Section 301 tariffs, justified by allegations of forced labour, represent a workaround to replace temporary tariffs struck down by courts. Steinberg also examines whether these accusations against Canada are substantive or merely pretexts, analyzes the unprecedented global scope of these trade measures, and assesses the likelihood of legal challenges to this unconventional use of presidential authority.
