WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump's planned 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum imports would be stacked on top of other levies on Canadian goods, says a White House official who confirmed the plan Tuesday on background.
WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump's planned 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum imports would be stacked on top of other levies on Canadian goods, says a White House official who confirmed the plan Tuesday on background.
Trump previously threatened 25 per cent across-the-board tariffs on Canadian imports, with a lower 10 per cent levy on Canadian energy, and says those tariffs could still proceed in early March. Monday's tariff threat marks another development in Trump's larger plans to reshape global trade and American foreign policy through tariffs.
Trump also moved to impose 25 per cent tariffs on all Mexican imports at the same time, but he delayed those levies for both countries until at least March 4 in response to border security commitments made separately by Canada and Mexico. British Columbia Premier David Eby, who is also in the U.S. capital, has said Canadians are"way too reliant on the decisions of one person in the White House." He said it's critical to reach out to Republicans.
