Holding

A Section 338 proclamation imposing a 50 percent duty to counter documented Canadian discrimination against U.S. motor-vehicle commerce places American industry and commerce first; scored Mostly America First (79). No Automatic Fail: the levy targets foreign goods to offset foreign discrimination, not an explicit new tax on Americans.
