Alabama may be impacted by actions Canada is taking on products that the state exports north of the border.

Wall Street is having another tough day amid anxiety over President Donald Trump's often-changing tariff proposals. Trump delayed most tariffs on Mexican goods after talking with their president.

Alabama may get a momentary reprieve based on the “fine print” in Trump’s latest action on tariffs.
