Canadian PM Mark Carney and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum have condemned the U.S. decision to increase steel and aluminum tariffs from 25% to 50%, labeling it illegal and harmful. Carney argued the tariffs harm American and Canadian industries, while Sheinbaum warned of significant repercussions for Mexico's metal sectors. The tariffs were officially announced at a Trump rally in Pittsburgh, aimed at boosting U.S. manufacturing jobs despite straining relations with its North American neighbors. Sheinbaum hinted at potential counteractions if the U.S. administration does not reconsider the tariffs.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney criticized the 50-percent tariff increase as 'illegal' and warned it would harm both American and Canadian industries.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed her intent to implement countermeasures against the tariff hike, emphasizing the protection of Mexico's steel and aluminum industry.
Trump’s recent tariff increase from 25 to 50 percent appears aimed at reviving U.S. manufacturing jobs but raises international tensions, particularly with Canada.
The tariff hike, announced amidst political rallies, is seen as a strategy to revitalize the Rust Belt, although it may disrupt U.S.-Canada relations.
