Trump calls it a rejection of all Canadian imports; the enacted 50% tariffs cover about 5%
The covered goods are about 5% of what the U.S. buys from Canada.
The U.S. now taxes a set of Canadian products at 50%, about 5% of what it imports from Canada; two-way trade ran $762.10 billion in 2024, per Census data. Canada matches each of those rates — 15%, 25% or 50% — on September 8. Trump's description of the move as rejecting all Canadian imports is rhetoric; the enacted order covers only the listed goods.
