Canada to unveil tariff response as US duties hit autos and steel

agi.it (Italian)

Canada will announce its response today to new US tariffs on autos, steel, and parts, imposed by Donald Trump after trade talks collapsed. Finance, industry, and labor ministers will detail measures at 3 pm. Washington's tariffs hit Canadian vehicles, components, and steel at 50% starting January 1, 2027. Trump claimed Canada has "plundered" the US. Most Canadian steel already faces 50% duties, with a reduction previously floated. Prime Minister Mark Carney vowed a "dollar for dollar" response, rejecting a deal "at any price." Ottawa says US demands threaten strategic sectors and French language status. Canada is diversifying trade toward Asia and the EU.
