History

Historical Context

Trump’s 2018 steel and aluminum tariffs, justified on national-security grounds, prompted Canada to match them on July 1 2018 with 299 U.S. goods worth about $16.6 billion. After those duties were lifted in May 2019, trade tensions resurfaced when Section 338 tariffs took effect in July 2026, banning 68 Canadian classifications—including alcoholic beverages—impacting roughly $1 billion of bilateral trade.
