The issue of tariffs is separate from the issue of arresting a foreign company officer in transit in a third foreign country over US sanctions violations
Tariffs are a long time legal method of protecting domestic industries from predatory trade practices.
Arresting a foreign company officer in a third country over alleged violation of sanctions the foreign country doesn't even agree to is unprecedented.
In this case it also embarrasses the third country, Canada, by showing how subject it is to US rule.
