Canadian provincial leaders call for a 50 percent tariff on U.S. steel and aluminum to counter new import taxes

Ontario Premier Ford urged the Kan government to impose a 50% tariff on US steel and aluminum in response to the US president's decision to raise import duties on Canadian goods from 25% to 35%.

"We must do everything possible to protect workers, businesses, and society from the impact of the new US tariffs. The federal government must impose a 50% tariff on US steel and aluminum."

Previously, the US president had raised the tariffs on Canada from 25% to 35%.
