Canada had threatened to retaliate against any new tariffs with levies of its own, aggravating a trade fight between countries that sold each other $880 billion worth of goods and services last year.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Canadian officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Trump had spoken twice by phone in the past two days about the ongoing negotiations, including a call Tuesday afternoon, Carney\u2019s office said, underscoring the last-minute push for a deal.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Both countries had reason to step back from the brink. Nearly 72% of Canada\u2019s goods exports last year went to the United States. And the Trump administration would be taking a risk by imposing a hefty new tariff \u2014 paid by U.S. importers who try to pass along the cost to consumers via higher prices \u2014 ahead of November\u2019s midterm elections. U.S. voters are already frustrated with the high cost of living.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=4088\">Trea Turner uses Bryson Stott\u2019s extra glove to help solve his fielding woes: \u2018It\u2019s a lot longer\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think either side really wants these tariffs to come into effect,\u2019\u2019 Ryan Majerus, a partner at King &amp; Spalding and a former U.S. trade official, said before the delay was announced. \u201cThere\u2019s a pretty strong push on both sides to find an off-ramp here.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Trump\u2019s approach to dealing with Canada marks an extraordinary departure from the traditionally cooperative relationship between the two countries. Trump has hit Canadian goods with tariffs \u2014 in a push to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. \u2014 and has repeatedly made inflammatory comments about turning Canada into America\u2019s 51st state.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Trump has made tariffs the centerpiece of his second-term economic agenda. Last year, he imposed double-digit import taxes on almost every country, justifying them by declaring the longstanding U.S. trade deficit a national emergency. The Supreme Court in February ruled that he\u2019d overstepped his authority, striking down those tariffs and setting the stage for the federal government to pay refunds to importers.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>So Trump has looked for other legal authority to impose tariffs.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>To hit Canada, he reached back to the Great Depression, invoking Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to threaten 50% tariffs on products that account for about 5% of Canadian exports to the United States.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Nearly a century ago, with the U.S. and world economies in collapse, Congress passed the 1930 tariff law, imposing taxes on imports from around the world. Known as the Smoot-Hawley tariffs, named for their congressional sponsors, they are notorious among economists and historians for limiting world commerce and making the Great Depression worse.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Section 338 tariffs have never been used before.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Section 338 authorizes the president to impose tariffs of up to 50% on imports from countries that have discriminated against U.S. businesses. No investigation is required to justify the levies. Nor is there any limit on how long the tariffs can stay in place.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The U.S. is renegotiating a North American trade pact \u2014 the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement \u2014 that Trump strong-armed America\u2019s neighbors into accepting in his first term. The threat of Section 338 tariffs gives the United States leverage to seek fresh concessions from Ottawa.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=4086\">Weitzman Jewish history museum vandalized with antisemitic graffiti<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The announcement, which Trump made on his social media platform, buys time for more negotiations and avoids, for now, another strain in already tense relations between the historic allies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4091,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
