Canada, a major supplier of aluminium and steel to the US, is facing increased tariffs from the Trump administration. President Trump has declared a 25 per cent tariff hike on Canadian steel and aluminium imports, bringing the total duties to 50 per cent. This decision comes after Ontario’s premier, Doug Ford, imposed a 25 per cent surcharge on electricity and issued threats to cut off electricity supply to New York, Michigan, and Minnesota. Canada supplies half of the US aluminium imports and 20 per cent of US steel imports, making these tariff hikes a significant issue between the two neighboring countries. The escalating trade tensions between the US and Canada are likely to have far-reaching implications on both economies and international trade relations.
