The Trump administration announced new tariffs on Canadian goods today.
“These are the latest in the president's attempt to impose new fees on imports after”
the Supreme Court struck down a large piece of the president's tariff's policy earlier this year. And PR's Daniel Kurtz-Labin reports. The administration says importers will now pay a 50% tariff on an array of Canadian goods. A senior administration official speaking on condition of anonymity described the targeted
products as quote ranging from wine to hockey sticks to cement. The official also said the new tax is a response to Canadian retaliatory trade actions on American goods like liquor and cars. Those Canadian actions were themselves in response to tariffs imposed on Canadian goods last year.
The Supreme Court later found those to be unlawful. The administration is using a law-notice section 338 for this unilateral action.
That law has never been used before to impose tariffs.

New research from the American Heart Association weighs in on how many cups of coffee per day are safe to drink, and Piers Maria Gadoi has more. In a new scientific statement, the AHA says drinking up to 5, 8 ounce cups of coffee per day, or about 400 milligrams of caffeine, is generally safe for most adults. It also appears to be linked to a lower risk of several cardiovascular conditions, including
heart failure, heart disease, and stroke in some people. Research has linked drinking caffeinated coffee without added sugars, flavors, or cream to a lower risk of conditions including type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. Adding sugar, milk, or cream likely reduces the health benefits. The AHA says, however, the group says drinking caffeine in high doses, such as those found
in energy drinks and energy shots could increase the risk of high blood pressure, and irregular heart rhythm, and should be avoided. Maria Gadoi and Piers news. The American Oyster Catcher, known for its sharp orange bill, is making a comeback in North America.
