Canadian Chamber statement on U.S. decision to double tariffs
Today’s announcement that the U.S. decided to double steel and aluminum tariffs is incredibly destructive. This series of escalations is quickly hitting a ceiling where Americans and Canadians are set to feel the hurt.
Canadian steel and aluminum aren’t a 'nice to have' for the U.S., they’re a need to have — literally. These two Canadian metals are the infrastructure that holds up and holds together American defence, homes, cars, energy and countless other symbols of security and strength.
