Canadian premiers are traveling to Washington to urge President Donald Trump to abandon his planned tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada. The move comes after Trump signed executive orders imposing the tariffs, which take effect on March 12. Canadian officials, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, are condemning the tariffs and exploring retaliatory measures. Premiers will meet with business leaders, labor representatives, and Trump administration officials to emphasize the interconnectedness of the Canadian and American economies.
Canadian premiers are taking up the Team Canada mantle in Washington this week on a joint mission to convince U.S. President Donald Trump to drop his tariff threats for good.
A senior government official said that Trudeau spoke with U.S. Vice-President JD Vance, who is also at the summit, about the impact steel tariffs would have in Ohio. Vance previously represented Ohio in the U.S. Senate. Trump delayed those levies until at least March 4 in response to border security commitments from both countries.
Ford said it remains unclear what Trump ultimately wants from Canada. He said any duties will harm both the Canadian and American economies. Premiers are looking to meet with business and labour leaders, as well as key members of Trump’s administration.
