Canada’s steel, aluminum industries call for tariff alignment with US

Canada’s steel and aluminum industries have joined forces to call on the government for the imposition of tariffs on steel, aluminum, and electric vehicles.

Catherine Cobden, president of the Canadian Steel Producers Association (CSPA), and Jean Simard, president and CEO of the Aluminum Association of Canada (AAC), released a joint statement on Aug. 8, taking aim at overcapacity in China flooding the Canadian market with cheap imports.
