The federal government has announced it will impose new restrictions on steel and aluminum imports, including potential counter-tariffs on American products starting July 21, in response to U.S. trade actions.

As of June 4, 2025, President Trump doubled the Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs from 25% to 50% on imports from nearly all countries—including Canada—citing “national security” under U.S. trade law.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government unveiled 100% tariff-rate quotas on foreign steel and aluminum to prevent Canada from becoming a dumping ground. Countries without trade deals, like China, will be subject to strict caps. However, the most notable part of the plan targets the U.S. directly.

The government is giving Washington 30 days to negotiate or face new tariffs. However, Trump has explicitly warned that countries who retaliate against his trade policies will face steeper penalties.
