ADDITIONAL TARIFFS IMPOSED ON CANADIAN GOODS UNDER SECTION 338 OF THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES HARM UNITED STATES
CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES AND THE TARIFFS SHOULD BE RESCINDED
Ms. ROSEN submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Finance:
S. Res. 898
Whereas Canada is one of the strongest allies of the United
States, among the largest trading partners of the United
States, and the leading source of foreign visitors to many
travel destinations in the United States;
Whereas Canada was the top source of international visitors
to the United States in 2024, with 20,400,000 visits
generating $20,500,000,000 in spending and supporting 140,000
United States jobs, according to the United States Travel
Association;
Whereas President Donald J. Trump has used increasingly
hostile rhetoric toward Canada, disrespecting the neighbor of
the United States to the north by claiming it will become the
“51st State” and calling its Prime Minister “Governor”;
Whereas, as a result of President Trump's hostility toward
Canada, travel by citizens of Canada to the United States
dropped 25 percent from 2024 to 2025;
Whereas President Trump has further inflamed tensions by
attempting to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America;
Whereas, on July 20, 2026, President Trump announced that
he would impose tariffs of 50 percent ad valorem on certain
Canadian goods under section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930
(19 U.S.C. 1338), the first time a president has expressly
cited that statute to impose tariffs;
Whereas the cost-raising tariffs went into effect on August
22, 2026;
Whereas the Government of Canada imposed retaliatory
tariffs on United States goods worth $27,600,000,000 in
Canadian dollars, starting on September 8, 2026;
Whereas rising costs from the tariffs imposed under section
338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 compound existing affordability
pressures facing United States families in housing,
transportation, and everyday goods; and
Whereas United States businesses that rely on Canadian
imports or cross-border supply chains face increased costs,
disrupted planning, and reduced competitiveness as a result
of President Trump's tariffs: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that—
(1) the additional tariffs imposed on Canadian goods under
section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1338), and
the rhetoric surrounding the bilateral relationship between
the United States and Canada, harm United States consumers
and businesses;
(2) the President should rescind the imposition of the
tariffs on Canadian goods; and
(3) the President should immediately stop inflaming
tensions with Canada and refrain from needlessly harming the
bilateral relationship with a close ally of the United
States, including by ceasing reference to Canada as the
“51st State” and attempting to rename Lake Ontario.
