Fresh US tariffs are due to take effect on a range of Canadian goods after midnight Tuesday, as Ottawa seeks a deal to avert President Donald Trump's planned 50-percent duties. Trump signed orders for the new wave of tariffs last month, with the White House alleging "discriminatory treatment" by the US neighbor against American alcohol, automobile and dairy products. The duties are set to take effect August 19, covering products such as wine, hockey sticks and cement. (Photo by Cole BURSTON / AFP via Getty Images)
