President Donald Trump will impose new 50% tariffs on many Canadian goods in 30 days. He says Canada is treating U.S. alcohol, cars, and dairy products unfairly, and this move responds to those concerns.
Key Facts
The new tariffs apply to goods like wine, hockey sticks, and cement.
These tariffs use a less common law called Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930.
Energy products, potash, and items already under other tariffs are not affected.
The tariffs impact products covered by the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
The White House says Canada and China retaliated against previous U.S. tariffs last year.
Canada has stopped buying U.S. alcohol and given more access to dairy from the European Union.
Canada has limited U.S. vehicle exports in response to previous U.S. tariff threats.
This new action may strain trade relations with Canada, the U.S.’s second-largest trading partner.

A record 9.5 million federal student loan borrowers are in default, nearly double the number from mid-2025, as pandemic payment pauses ended and repayment changes took effect under President Trump’s administration. Default can cause serious financial problems, but borrowers have options like loan rehabilitation or consolidation to resolve default status.
Key Facts
About 9.5 million federal student loan borrowers are currently in default, nearly one in five borrowers.
The default rate increased sharply after COVID-era payment pauses ended.
Default means a borrower missed payments for at least 270 days.
Consequences of default include damaged credit, wage garnishment, and withheld tax refunds.
The Trump administration reduced repayment options, leading to some borrowers facing higher monthly payments.
Simply resuming payments does not fix default; borrowers must complete rehabilitation, consolidation, or get a discharge.
