Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a series of new trade measures aimed at protecting Canada's steel industry amid ongoing trade tensions with the United States. During a visit to the Walters Group steel manufacturing facility in Hamilton, Ontario, Carney unveiled plans to impose a 25% tariff on steel imports from all countries except the U.S., specifically targeting steel that was melted and poured in China. Additionally, Canada will implement import quotas on steel from countries with which it has free trade agreements, excluding the U.S., to support domestic producers affected by U.S. tariffs. These measures include reducing the amount of foreign steel that importers can bring in tariff-free and providing increased funding for business projects, worker training, and support programs. The Canadian government described these steps as necessary to counteract the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, which have disrupted global steel supply chains and redirected steel flows toward Canada. The new tariffs and quotas are expected to take effect later this month.
