Canada retaliates with tariffs on US steel, aluminum; EU plans counterattack too

Canada and the European Union are retaliating against what they deem to be unjustified tariffs on steel and aluminum by the United States.

On Thursday, Canada imposed 25% reciprocal tariffs on steel, aluminum, and other goods imported from the US. The move was in direct response to the US reinstatement the day before of 25% Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum from all countries, with no exceptions.
