President Trump's tariff actions continue to dominate trade policy in late 2026, with new duties on pharmaceuticals, Canadian autos and dairy, Brazilian goods, unmanned aircraft systems, and polysilicon set to take effect or expand in early September, alongside Canadian retaliatory measures on September 8.
