Canadian aluminum sales to the U.S. totaled US$8.4-billion in 2017, the last full year without tariffs, accounting for 80 per cent of Canada’s exports of the metal. Two U.S. aluminum companies, Century Aluminum and Magnitude 7 Metals, have been lobbying Mr. Trump to reimpose tariffs, arguing that aluminum imports from Canada have surged since the tariffs were lifted. But Canadian metals producers, as well as most of the U.S. industry, contend that there is no surge and that overall imports from Canada are comparable to their levels before the tariffs.
“Say what you will about Nero, but at least he was a hell of a fiddler. This guy’s burning it all down without a soundtrack,” he said.
I SAID IT EARLIER DUMB ASS IS AT IT AGAIN !!
We will retialiate for this lunatic move from this not so perfect president and Americans have a clear choice to have this lunatic president or wants a real change.
Well done Don, you just made beer in the States more expensive. 🙄
Canadian Aluminum exporters should respond by raising their price 10% -15% on US bound aluminum. US domestic producers cannot fill this gap .
BLAME TRUDEAU, NOT TRUMP
JustinTrudeau euro is at 1.58. cojone..
Whatever. What a nut job 🙄
The art of the deal! No class!
Always political gains on the back of other countries!
😂 no escape on any countries! Let’s see now who’s still saying US is with Canada?
Thats to cover the loss of his supporters drinking hand sanitizer.
Don’t blame Trump. A Canadian politician signed off on it, blame that guy. Canada should never have sign that agreement. Remember Quebec never sign the Canada Constitution. Somethings are best not to be signed.
We all need to stop buying goods made outside our country where possible. Pass on USA made goods if you can till they treat us as equals. No tariffs.
why 10%? not 8%. not 12%, not 15% not 5%. reasons based on most likely to be ignored as usual.
Giddy-up JT, Canada’s on the ropes. Giddy-up
The American consumer pays the tariffs The US makers will raise their prices by 10%
The art of the con.
So manufacturing using aluminum slows so Canada dumps it into the US for future plans. Did Trudeau really expect that would fly with Trump?
Canada is not owing up to new dairy import from the USA from new NAFTA agreement miss Freeland signed. And Canada is importing China steel then stamping it Canadain steel. So yes Mr Trumps government has retaliated with tariffs. If Canada stops the tariffs will go away
Hopefully Canada doesn’t just cave in and stay quiet!
Trump was spot on Trudeau is truly Weak and Dishonest

This has nothing to do with us (Canada), it's the American consumer that will pay for these tariffs.
