## Resource

The U.S. is slapping a 50% tariff on select Canadian goods starting August 19th — a bold move targeting items like honey, hockey sticks, and alcohol — citing unfair Canadian trade practices including car tariffs and dairy restrictions. Leveraging a 1930 law, the White House aims to level the playing field for American exports, but this escalation could spark a major trade showdown with Canada.
