# US president Donald Trump has imposed 50-percent tariff on a range of Canadian goods, ranging from everyday consumer items like wine and hockey sticks to industrial goods such as commercial cement and electrical equipment. He says this is to offset Canada’s discriminatory treatment of US exports, including cars, dairy and alcohol. The new tariffs will exclude energy products, fish, critical minerals and potash. They also exclude products already subject to tariffs aimed at protecting national security, such as steel and aluminium. The tariffs will go into effect in 30 days.
