US trade panel overturns Trump tariffs on Canada newsprint

A US trade panel on Wednesday rejected the Trump administration tariffs imposed on Canadian newsprint imports that drew sharp protests because of their impact on struggling American newspapers. The unanimous decision, which is subject to appeal, means the preliminary tariffs of up to 30 percent imposed earlier this year by the Commerce Department are canceled and money collected will be refunded. The tariffs were imposed in response to a complaint by a single US paper mill, which alleged that subsidized imports from Canada hurt American industry.
