SRES 898: A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the additional tariffs imposed on Canadian goods under section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 and the rhetoric surrounding the bilateral relationship between Canada and the United States harm United States consumers and businesses and the tariffs should be rescinded.
This Senate resolution expresses the view that recent 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods and hostile diplomatic rhetoric harm U.S. consumers and businesses by raising costs and disrupting cross-border supply chains. The bill cites a 25 percent drop in Canadian travel to the United States and retaliatory measures from Canada as evidence of the negative impact on the bilateral relationship. It urges the President to rescind the tariffs, which were imposed under section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, and to stop using inflammatory language regarding Canada's status and geography.
