Court tests loom for Trump’s Canada tariffs under Section 338

AP reports that Trump’s 5% Section 338 tariffs on Canadian imports are drawing fresh legal questions: while proponents argue tariffs can offset discrimination, critics contend Congress may have limited or superseded 338 authority with later trade laws and require proof of specific harm. With Canada retaliating and few lawsuits filed so far, the tariff’s legality and scope remain unsettled, and a renewed push for talks could still defuse the standoff.
