  "account": "On August 17, the United States announced a 50% tariff on various Canadian exports, effective as of August 19. This decision followed the failure to reach an agreement between the two countries before a deadline set by President Trump. The initial threat of tariffs in July aimed to pressure Canada on several issues, including alcohol imports, auto exports, and dairy quotas.\n\nThe new tariffs will impact approximately five percent of all Canadian goods shipped to the United States, valued at around $28 billion annually. These tariffs are organized into three categories, each with its own set of affected products, spanning motor vehicles, dairy, and alcohol.\n\nIn the dairy category, the tariff affects items such as milk, cream, whey, lactose, sugars, non-alcoholic beer, essential oils of peppermint, and more. For alcohol, the list includes beer, wine, liquor, cider, fermented beverages, essential oils of grapefruit, wooden tableware, basketwork, grease-proof paper, ice hockey and field hockey equipment, and various other goods.\n\nThe motor vehicle order encompasses a wider range of items, including natural honey, down feathers, tortoise shell, whalebone, horns, antlers, tulips, dormant flower buds, live orchids, mushroom spawn, vegetable, tree, and shrub seeds, perfumes, makeup preparations, synthetic paints, cements, candles, fatty acids, vinyl floor tiles, non-plastic office supplies, plastic furniture fittings, dog leashes, saddles, luggage, fibreboard, laminate, plywood sheets, paper, wallpaper, binders, etc., and much more.",
