The Trump administration has expanded its trade investigations to 60 countries, including Canada, in an effort to solidify the president’s tariff policies.
The United States Trade Representative announced earlier this week that it was launching investigations under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 on the European Union and a handful of other countries.
A Wednesday evening news release from the department expanded the list of countries targeted by the investigations.
It says the department will look at whether the countries have policies or practices that “are unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict U.S. commerce.”
The investigations come after the U.S. Supreme Court last month struck down U.S. President Donald Trump’s favourite tariff tool that he used for his “Liberation Day” tariffs and fentanyl-related duties on Canada, Mexico and China.
Trump responded to the top court’s ruling by using Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to implement a worldwide 10 per cent levy — but that can only stay in place for 150 days without Congressional approval.
whether the countries have policies or practices that “are unreasonable or discriminatory”
I would say Canada’s 250 plus percent tarrifs on dairy and poultry are unreasonable.
I don’t know the definition of lose or loose.
My 6-year-old has a better IQ than Carney and me combined.
The US’s GDP grew by +2.1% in 2025 … that’s 0.7% smaller than Biden’s 2024 GDP growth.
China’s GDP grew more than $1 trillion more than the US’s in 2025.
Trump’s economy is a massive failure!
Russian troll Peter Belinski keeps pretending he’s Roy. Laughable loser. Nice war Putin has in year five.
God forgive America for they know not what they do ….
Trump is doing a great job, he’s making Carney look stupid on the world market our dollar equals the peso making everything expensive so i’m happy to keep using food banks and living on disability benefits for my mental illness.

The audacity! There is more US business and product in Canada then there is Canadian! We buy much more US goods per person than they do ours, but we’re unfair?
Even with us refusing alcohol and grocery items and buying as much Canadian products as we can, its still us buying more per person then they ever have of our goods.
Trump can’t negotiate or do math, but I do know one thing he can do. He can go Canuck himself. Greedy piggy.
Dave is an idiot
I believe, he will be impeached before their investigation. Greer and rest of his advisory committee are bunch of crackpots. Secretary of WAR, whiskey Hagseth, fox news🤔 White house is a clown show. Sorry to say this, after Ramadan is over, USA is going to loose American lives. Iran is nothing compared to USA. Guerrilla war🤔. Barrel of crude going $225 now they predicting, ripple effects will be disastrous.
Finish the Epstein investigation first.
We all know America can’t do 2 things at once and succeed at either of them.
He’s always looking for something that he can swindle into his way of thinking that they are all out to screw the USA somehow – some way.
Bingo Dave! Bang on
Someone please stop this orange moron.
No investigation on epstein files?
Not really a surprise given the LPC keeps running its mouth and insulting the country responsible for 80+% of our exports
