US-Canada Trade Dispute: Trump Administration Imposes Doubled Tariffs on Canadian Metals
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the U.S. will double tariffs on all imports of Canadian steel and aluminum to 50%, effective Wednesday morning.

The move comes in response to Ontario’s decision to impose a 25% tariff on electricity exports to the U.S. Trump, in a post on his Truth Social platform, stated that he has instructed Commerce Secretary to implement the additional tariffs, escalating tensions between the two nations.

Trump also criticized Canada’s high tariffs on U.S. dairy products, tagging them “outrageous” and calling for their immediate removal.

He further threatened to declare a National Emergency on electricity and increase tariffs on Canadian cars if Canada does not drop its “egregious” tariffs.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford Vows to Stand Firm

Ontario Premier Doug Ford responded to Trump’s threats on X, stating that his government would not back down until all U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports are “gone for good.”

Ford’s administration recently raised electricity prices for portions of New York, Michigan, and Minnesota, prompting Trump’s retaliatory measures.

The escalating trade dispute has sent shockwaves through financial markets, with the S&P 500 index sliding nearly 1% and the Canadian dollar falling against the U.S. dollar. Investors fear that the tariffs could harm U.S. economic growth and reignite inflation.

In addition to the doubled tariffs on Canadian metals, the Trump administration is imposing a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports from other countries, including Brazil, Mexico, and South Korea.

These tariffs, set to take effect on Wednesday, will apply to millions of tons of metals that previously entered the U.S. duty-free under exemptions.

Trump has vowed that the tariffs will be applied “without exceptions or exemptions,” aiming to bolster struggling U.S. industries. However, economists warn that the move could have severe repercussions for the global economy.

Economic Concerns Grow as Tariffs Rattle Markets

Trump’s aggressive tariff policies have rattled investor, consumer, and business confidence, raising concerns about a potential recession. A recent small business survey showed weakening sentiment for the third consecutive month, erasing the confidence boost following Trump’s election victory in November.

Reuters polls of economists last week revealed growing risks to the Mexican, Canadian, and U.S. economies due to the chaotic implementation of U.S. tariffs. Of the 74 economists surveyed across the three countries, 70 judged that the risk of a recession had increased, with particular concerns about rising inflation in the U.S.

Tariff Impact on U.S.-Canada Trade Relations

The latest tariffs mark a significant escalation in the ongoing trade dispute between the U.S. and Canada. The two nations have long been key trading partners, but Trump’s focus on protecting U.S. industries has strained the relationship.

The tariffs on Canadian metals and the threat of additional measures on cars and dairy products highlight the administration’s hardline approach to trade negotiations. However, critics argue that the tariffs could harm U.S. businesses and consumers by increasing costs and disrupting supply chains.

As tensions rise, there are growing calls for a diplomatic resolution to the trade dispute. Business leaders and economists have urged both nations to engage in constructive dialogue to avoid further economic damage
