Trump to double tariffs on Canada steel, aluminium to 50 per cent
The move comes in response to the Canada’s Ontario province placing a 25 per cent tariff on electricity coming into the US
Trump said in a post on Truth Social he has instructed his commerce secretary to add an additional 25 per cent tariff on the products that will go into effect on Wednesday morning.
“Also, Canada must immediately drop their anti-American Farmer Tariff of 250 per cent to 390 per cent on various US dairy products, which has long been considered outrageous. I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area,” Trump wrote.
