US-Canada Trade War Explained: The 96-Year-Old Tariff Law Nobody's Ever Used

America and Canada just entered the most serious trade conflict between the two countries in decades — and most news coverage is only giving you half the story. In this video, we break down exactly what happened over the last 72 hours: the use of a 96-year-old law (Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930) that has NEVER been used to impose tariffs before, the collapse of last-minute negotiations, the 50% tariffs now in effect on $20 billion of Canadian goods, and Canada's planned retaliation on September 8th. We cover: ✅ Why Section 338 is such a big deal (and why it's never been used until now) ✅ The 48 hours where a deal almost happened — and why it fell apart ✅ What sectors are being hit (steel, dairy, autos, agriculture, electronics & more) ✅ What this means for prices at your grocery store and everyday goods ✅ What could happen next as September 8th approaches This isn't about taking sides — it's about understanding the actual mechanics of what's happening so you're not caught off guard by rising prices or the next headline.
