Trump Orders 50% Tariffs On Canadian Steel And Aluminum

UNITED STATES – United States President Donald Trump is doubling down on tariffs literally.

Trump announced plans to hike tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum from 25% to 50%, starting midnight Wednesday.

Trump says it’s payback for Ontario slapping a 25% tariff on electricity sent to Northern U.S. States.

Ontario’s Premier fired back saying “we will not back down” and urging Trump to “Stop The Chaos.”

The President also hinted at declaring a national emergency on electricity.
