Canadian officials, industry experts respond to newly-imposed tariffs

U.S. President Donald Trump is determined to push his administration’s trade policy overhaul, signing two new executive orders placing 25 per cent tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports.

The move ended previous exemptions for allies, including Canada, which is the largest supplier of these products to the United States.

Industry experts and politicians alike are on high alert preparing to fight back with countermeasures.
