A lawsuit filed in the US Court of International Trade argues the White House exceeded its authority in imposing tariffs on Canadian goods under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, causing harm to US businesses. Sources told CBC that hopes of a Canada-US trade deal before the US midterms have faded.
Why it matters
The case could affect tariffs on trade between two of the world's most closely integrated economies.
Background
