Dofasco steel in Hamilton
Alcoa Aluminum
Canadian Press quotes an unidentified source in the US administration as saying Canada and Mexico will gain an open exemption from heavy tariffs on steel and aluminum declared Thursday by President Trump. Trump signed the documents for the legislation at the White House, surrounded by burly steelworkers. It specifies a 25 percent tariff on steel and a ten percent tariff on aluminium. CP’s source is called an official speaking on condition of anonymity. It said he would not address the issue of whether the threat of tariffs would be used to bully Canada and Mexico at the NAFTA bargaining table, saying only that NAFTA is important to economic and national security.
