"It doesn't represent a reciprocal trading opportunity for Canadian beef farmers and ranchers... we think that it's a pretty one-sided deal," Fulton says.

"We worked hard," WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said, adding that the US and Brazil in particular "need more time" to work out their differences over the agreement to impose levies on cross-border online orders.

After Trump ended the de minimis exemption last year, purchasing an item straight from an international vendor, regardless of the item's value, meant incurring International Emergency Economic Powers Act tariffs. Now, thanks to a ruling by the Supreme Court that overturned Trump's IEEPA tariffs, and a ruling by the Court of International Trade ruled that all tariffs paid under IEEPA must be returned, buyers may be able to collect a refund.

That's after Trump attempted to use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act for the first time as a vehicle for imposing tariffs, when he unveiled his "Liberation Day" duties last year. The tariffs were quickly challenged in court. While arguing the case last spring, Justice Department lawyers acknowledged that if the tariffs were deemed unlawful, then the government would issue refunds to the plaintiffs.

Trump previously said he was implementing the new baseline duty under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which grants the president unilateral ability to impose tariffs. But the untested legal provision puts a 150-day limit on how long the duties can remain in place. Congress would need to approve any extension. The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision handed down earlier Friday, ruled that Trump's use of a decades-old federal emergency-powers law to impose his so-called "reciprocal" tariffs was unlawful.
