What happened

Well supportedReported by 14 independent outlets

President Donald Trump announced 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, initiating these trade restrictions via executive order in September 2026. The tariffs were announced while the U.S. War with Iran caused the Strait of Hormuz to be largely closed to most commercial shipping. This geopolitical situation has been linked to upward pressure on energy and food prices.
