PM Carney calls tariffs unlawful and unjustified
Tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum to the United States are increasing to 50% today after U.S. President Trump followed through on his plan to double the duties.
The tariffs are increasing from their previous rate of 25%, with President Trump saying it's necessary to protect national security and industries in the United States.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says the tariffs are both unlawful and unjustified and that Canada is intensively negotiating with the U.S. to have them removed under a new economic and security deal.
