Canada Announces Tariffs and Industry Aid Package
Written by Sandy Williams
Canada’s retaliatory tariffs will go into effect on July 1 in response to U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum, said Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland on Friday. The tariffs on $12.6 billion of U.S. goods are equivalent to the value of steel and aluminum products hit by the Section 232 tariffs.
Freeland, accompanied by Industry Minister Navdeep Bains and Employment Minister Patty Hajdu, addressed workers and reporters at Stelco Steel in Hamilton, Ontario.
