Canada responded with retaliatory tariffs in 2018 when then-U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum products. That response may again be considered should President-elect Trump follow through on recent threats to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Canada’s 2018 response was “successful,” when asked during a Nov. 26 press conference whether Ottawa would consider retaliatory tariffs again this time.
