US Imposes Additional Tariffs on Canadian Steel and Aluminum Amid Trade Tensions

The United States has imposed an additional 25% tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum imports, effective Wednesday. This action increases the total U.S. levy on these products to 50%. The decision follows Ontario's imposition of a 25% surcharge on energy exports to New York, Michigan, and Minnesota. President Trump has also demanded that Canada eliminate its tariffs on American dairy products, which range from 250% to 390%. He also threatened to increase tariffs on cars coming into the U.S. if other tariffs are not dropped by Canada.
