Trump Administration Implements Broad Trade Tariffs
New tariffs spark legal challenges and diplomatic tension.
Event Overview
The Trump administration has implemented broad tariffs, including Section 301 levies ranging from 10 to 12.5 percent and 50 percent tariffs on various Canadian imports.

These actions have led to lawsuits from businesses and the Liberty Justice Center, as well as strained relations with Canada.
