India, July 21 -- Monday, President Donald Trump signed three Proclamations pursuant to Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to impose additional 50 percent tariffs on a wide range of goods imported from Canada.
Trump said he imposed the heavy tariff in retaliation for what he called "Canada's discriminatory treatment of American products" such as cars, dairy and alcohol.
"By doing so, President Trump is offsetting the burden and disadvantage on U.S. commerce from Canada's discriminatory treatment of U.S. commerce and is leveling the playing field for crucial American exports-cars, alcohol, and dairy," the White House said.
