Trump Was Right Again As U.S. Ban On Canadian Imports Takes Effect

Liberty Check

• Constitutional trade powers are being exercised to protect American workers and producers.
• Decades of lopsided trade deals have hollowed out U.S. manufacturing and agriculture.
• Restoring reciprocity with Canada begins to correct long-standing imbalances.

The U.S. ban on select Canadian imports officially took effect this week. Dairy, alcohol and certain motor-vehicle products are now restricted at the border.

The measure delivers on long-standing promises to put American producers first.

“We will not allow our dairy farmers and manufacturers to be undercut by subsidized foreign competition,” President Trump stated earlier this year.

Critics in Ottawa and Washington have reacted with predictable outrage.

“This is a dangerous escalation,” claimed one Canadian trade official.

Yet the policy simply mirrors steps already taken by Canada against U.S. goods.

American consumers and workers stand to benefit from renewed leverage at the negotiating table.

The Constitution must be defended.
