President Trump announced tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports, including those from Canada, imposing a 25% tax. This move threatens to disrupt the significant trade relationship between Canada and the U.S., where a substantial portion of Canada’s steel and aluminum exports are directed. The tariffs are intended to boost U.S. domestic production but may lead to considerable job losses in Canada’s steel and aluminum sectors, particularly affecting urban areas and medium-sized cities that rely heavily on these industries for employment.
The vast majority of steel and aluminum exports from Canada go to the U.S., with December 2024 showing over a billion dollars in steel headed south.
Trump's tariffs aim to reduce dependence on foreign commodities and boost U.S. domestic production, but may significantly harm Canadian job sectors in steel and aluminum.
