The federal government on Wednesday announced new counter-tariffs on nearly $30 billion in steel and aluminum products, as well as additional U.S. imported goods, in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s own duties on steel and aluminum.
The 25 per cent tariffs will come into effect at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time Thursday and will include $12.6 billion in steel products, $3 billion in aluminum items, as well as additional imported U.S. goods worth $14.2 billion.
They are in addition to Canada’s first round of retaliatory tariffs on $30 billion worth of U.S. goods that were imposed last week after sweeping U.S. tariffs on Canada took effect on March 4.
It’s the latest salvo between the two countries amid a trade war started by Trump. It comes a day after the president almost raised Wednesday’s tariffs to 50 per cent, but backed down after Ontario Premier Doug Ford suspended a 25 per cent duty on electricity to some U.S. states.
