## Resource

The U.S. is slapping a 50% tariff on nearly $20 billion in Canadian goods—hitting dairy, wine, hockey sticks, and down jackets—while sparing key U.S. exports like oil and minerals. This aggressive move, set to kick in August 19th, is a direct response to Canada’s alcohol boycott and other trade disputes, aiming to pressure Canada into concessions during renegotiations of the USMCA. With U.S. wine exports to Canada down $360 million and spirits down $150 million last year, the tariffs are designed to hurt Canada’s economy while protecting American interests.
