Trump administration expands trade investigations to more countries, including Canada
About 60 countries, including Canada, face investigations for potentially unreasonable or discriminatory trade practices under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, USTR said.
- On Friday, the Trump administration expanded Section 301 trade investigations to 60 countries, including Canada, assessing whether their policies are "unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict U.S. commerce."
- The shift follows a Supreme Court ruling last month that struck down Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff tool, prompting the administration to pivot toward Section 301 probes after losing its preferred tariff authority.
- U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told CNBC Friday the office aims to "move very quickly," warning that if findings confirm unfair trading practices, the administration will impose tariffs to resolve disputes.
- Formal Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement review negotiations have launched with Mexico, though no similar progress has occurred with Canada, which faces separate Section 232 tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automobiles.
- Ongoing trade irritants, including provincial bans on U.S. alcohol sales and Canada's dairy supply management system, complicate the bilateral relationship as Washington evaluates potential trade measures against Canadian industries.
