Canadian steelmakers call for protection after US adds derivatives to S232

The Canadian Steel Producers Association (CSPA) expressed dismay upon the news that the Trump administration had added over 400 products to the list of derivative products covered by the 50% Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum.

Derivative products whose steel and aluminum content are now subject to 50% tariffs include agricultural equipment, heaters, air conditioners, propane tanks, cutlery, machinery, and more.
