President Donald J. Trump Imposes Additional Tariffs on Canada
DEFENDING AMERICAN WORKERS AND ENSURING FAIR TRADE: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed three Proclamations pursuant to Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to impose additional 50% tariffs on certain goods of Canada in response to Canada’s discriminatory treatment of American products. By doing so, President Trump is offsetting the burden and disadvantage on U.S. commerce from Canada’s discriminatory treatment of U.S. commerce and is leveling the playing field for crucial American exports—cars, alcohol, and dairy.
Each Section 338 proclamation imposes a 50% tariff on a different set of Canadian imports, covering products ranging from wine to hockey sticks to cement.
These Section 338 tariffs apply to all covered goods regardless of whether a good originates under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
These Section 338 tariffs will not apply to energy, potash, products subject to tariffs under Section 232, and certain other goods, such as fish or critical minerals.
The tariffs will take effect 30 days after signing and are designed to offset the burden and disadvantage on U.S. commerce from Canada’s discrimination.
SECURING FAIR TREATMENT FOR AMERICAN EXPORTS: President Trump is taking action to hold Canada accountable for its continued discrimination against and unreasonable and unequal treatment of U.S. commerce that has burdened and disadvantaged hardworking Americans.
Section 338 empowers the President to impose tariffs when a country disadvantages U.S. exporters relative to the exports of another country to offset the disadvantage or burden on U.S. commerce.
Canada imposes certain tariffs and quotas on cars imported to Canada from the U.S., but not on imports from other countries. Canada also administers these quotas in a way that compels U.S. auto companies to invest in production in Canada instead of the United States.
From April 2025 through March 2026, Canadian imports of U.S. motor vehicles decreased by approximately 22%, or $5.6 billion, compared to the same period in 2024-2025. Exports of motor vehicles from other countries to Canada have increased to meet the demand previously filled by U.S. exports. Read More→
USTR Section 301 Action on Brazil’s Unreasonable Acts, Policies, and Practices
July 15, 2026
WASHINGTON – Today, Ambassador Jamieson Greer is taking final action, at President Trump’s direction, under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 by imposing a 25% tariff on certain goods of Brazil. This follows a yearlong investigation by USTR that determined that certain Brazilian measures related to digital trade and electronic payment services; unfair, preferential tariffs; anti-corruption interference; intellectual property protection; ethanol market access; and illegal deforestation are unreasonable and burden or restrict the commerce of American farmers, workers, innovators, and exporters. This action comes after the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) convened two public hearings, received over 360 public comments, and negotiated intensively with the Government of Brazil to seek resolution of U.S. concerns.
“Safeguarding American economic interests against unfair trade practices is the bedrock of President Trump’s America First policies. Whether it is punishing U.S. technology companies for refusing to censor political speech, backsliding on anti-corruption enforcement, or allowing Brazilian farmers to exploit illegally logged land to gain an advantage over American farmers, Brazil’s unfair trading practices have prevented U.S. workers and producers from accessing this important market with over 210 million consumers,” said Ambassador Greer. “Today’s action is necessary to address these unfair trade practices to ensure American workers and companies can compete on a level playing field. Extensive negotiations with Brazil over the past year have not resolved these issues, but we remain open to continuing negotiations with Brazil to bring about long-needed changes to the problems identified in this investigation.”

Background
Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (Trade Act), is designed to address unfair foreign practices affecting U.S. commerce. Section 301 may be used to respond to unjustifiable, unreasonable, or discriminatory foreign government practices that burden or restrict U.S. commerce. A Section 301(b) investigation examines whether the acts, policies, or practices are unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict U.S. commerce. Read More→
USITC Makes Determination in Five-Year (Sunset) Review Concerning Difluoromethane (R-32) From China
The U.S. International Trade Commission Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that revoking the existing antidumping order on imports of difluoromethane (R-32) from China would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determination, the existing order on imports of this product from China will remain in place.
Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioners Amy A. Karpel and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative.
Today’s action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. See the attached page for background on this five-year (sunset) review.
The Commission’s public report, Difluoromethane (R-32) from China (Inv. No. 731-TA-1472 (Review), USITC Publication 5767, July 2026), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the review.
The report will be available on the USITC website by August 13, 2026.
BACKGROUND
The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the USITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (USITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time.
The Commission’s institution notice in five-year reviews requests that interested parties file responses with the Commission concerning the likely effects of revoking the order under review as well as other information. Generally, within 95 days from institution, the Commission will determine whether the responses it has received reflect an adequate or inadequate level of interest in a full review. If responses to the USITC’s notice of institution are adequate, or if other circumstances warrant a full review, the Commission conducts a full review, which includes a public hearing and issuance of questionnaires.

Department of Commerce Eases Export Controls for UAE
Washington, D.C. — Today, the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is announcing that it will significantly upgrade the status of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) (15 CFR parts 730-774) in recognition of the UAE’s status as a U.S. Major Defense Partner and its support in advancing U.S. national security interests, including Operation Epic Fury.
BIS will remove the UAE from EAR Country Groups D:3 and D:4, which will, among other things, eliminate restrictions on support for the UAE’s unmanned aerial vehicle programs. At the same time, BIS will reclassify the UAE as EAR Country Group A:5. This will provide the UAE Government and approved commercial entities with eligibility for license-free exports, reexports, and in-country transfers under License Exception Strategic Trade Authorization (STA) of Commerce-controlled military items; certain commercial satellites and spacecraft; and dual-use items useful in oil and gas production, desalination, civil nuclear power generation, and/or other items available to Country Group A:5 destinations license-free. License-free exports, reexports, and in-country transfers of these items under STA will support key UAE commercial and infrastructure needs and better equip the UAE defense establishment to support U.S. interests in the Middle East. This special status under the EAR is warranted in light of the ongoing U.S.-UAE military partnership and the UAE’s commitment to preventing the diversion and misuse of sensitive U.S. technology.
In addition, consistent with the U.S.-UAE Artificial Intelligence Cooperation framework signed in May 2025, Commerce is approving the UAE Government and certain companies to receive advanced computing items in the UAE license-free, including AI chips and servers. The UAE has reaffirmed its commitment to the investment commitments in the framework, including the commitment to make matching investments in U.S. AI digital infrastructure buildout.
For additional information, please see the Federal Register notice implementing these regulatory changes described above, which is available for public inspection here.

Multifunctional Acrylate and Methacrylate Monomers and Oligomers (MAMMOs) From South Korea Injure U.S. Industry, Says USITC
The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of multifunctional acrylate and methacrylate monomers and oligomers (MAMMOs) from South Korea that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value.
Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioners Jason E. Kearns and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determination, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order on imports of this product from South Korea.
The Commission also made a negative critical circumstances determination with respect to the subject imports from South Korea for which Commerce had made a final affirmative critical circumstances finding in its antidumping duty investigation.
The Commission’s public report, Multifunctional Acrylate and Methacrylate Monomers and Oligomers (MAMMOs) from South Korea (Inv. No. 731-TA-1740 (Final), USITC Publication 5761, July 2026), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigation.

USITC MAKES DETERMINATION IN CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES REVIEW CONCERNING FRESH TOMATOES FROM MEXICO
The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that there are not changed circumstances sufficient to warrant revocation of the existing antidumping order on imports of fresh tomatoes from Mexico.
Commissioners Jason E. Kearns and Amy A. Karpel voted that there are not such changed circumstances. Chairman David S. Johanson did not participate in the vote.
As a result of the Commission’s determination, the existing order on imports of this product from Mexico will continue.
Today's action follows the Commission’s institution of investigation, dated January 21, 2026, under section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1675(b)), to review its determination in Inv. No. 731-TA-747 (Final). See the attached background information for more information about changed circumstances reviews.
The Commission’s public report, Fresh Tomatoes from Mexico (Inv. No. 751-TA-30, USITC Publication 5762, July 2026), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigation.
The report will be available on the USITC website by August 17, 2026.
BACKGROUND
Changed circumstances reviews are made by the U.S. Department of Commerce and/or the USITC with respect to final affirmative determinations that resulted in a countervailing duty order or antidumping duty order. They also apply to suspension agreements that resulted from a countervailing duty or antidumping duty investigation. Commerce and the USITC conduct such reviews under section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1675(b)) based on information or at the request of an interested party. The USITC's regulation regarding changed circumstances reviews can be found at 19 C.F.R. § 207.45.
In changed circumstances reviews involving a countervailing duty or antidumping duty order, the USITC shall determine whether revocation of the order or finding is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. In reviews involving a suspension agreement, the USITC must determine whether the suspension agreement continues to eliminate completely the injurious effects of imports of the subject merchandise.
Additional information about the investigation, including the results of today’s vote, is located on the investigations page for Fresh Tomatoes from Mexico; Inv. No. 751-30.
