President Donald Trump announced that the United States will increase tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada to 50%, doubling the previous rate of 25%. The decision is in response to Ontario, Canada's imposition of a 25% tariff on electricity exported to the United States. The additional tariffs will take effect on March 12, 2025. Trump stated that he has directed the Secretary of Commerce to implement the increase, describing Canada as 'one of the highest tariffing nations anywhere in the world.' This move escalates trade tensions between the United States and Canada, potentially impacting industries reliant on cross-border trade of metals and energy.
