Episode Details

The President just slapped a 50% tariff on Canadian imports—including cars, dairy, and booze—starting August 19th, calling it retaliation for “unequal treatment.” This move targets long-simmering trade tensions, with Canada already hitting back with its own tariffs. While the administration claims it’s protecting American businesses, critics say it’s more about unresolved disputes over auto taxes, dairy quotas, and Canadian booze bans. With the Supreme Court previously blocking similar tariffs, this new order uses a different legal route. Canadian business groups are calling it regrettable and urging negotiations before the deadline. The trade war just got a whole lot hotter.
