Doug Ford urges Canada’s leader to ramp up tariffs on US
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump authorized a measure that increases steel and aluminum tariffs to 50%, doubling the previous 25% rate, with Canada being included in the new tariff increase.
- The tariff hike followed ongoing discussions between Canadian and U.S. Officials aiming to establish a new economic and security agreement despite rising tensions.
- Canada retaliated with tariffs on over $90 billion of U.S. Imports, while Canadian steel and aluminum sectors, already facing job losses and shipment declines, warn the increase will be devastating.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney called the tariff increase unjustified and illegal, saying, "We're going to be there fighting," and Finance Minister Champagne stressed fighting the tariffs remains a government priority.
- The tariff escalation intensified trade disputes, prompting Conservative calls for an emergency House of Commons debate and setting a stage for Carney's upcoming meeting with Trump at the G7 summit in Alberta.
