OTTAWA — Canada will unveil retaliatory tariffs on a range of U.S. goods on Tuesday after Washington moved to impose punitive measures on Canadian aluminum imports, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland will make the formal announcement at 3 p.m. ET (1900 GMT), her office said.
Ottawa said last month it would impose sanctions on C$3.6 billion worth of U.S. aluminum and products containing aluminum.
“We will be taking action to counter the unjust tariffs put on Canadian aluminum by the United States,” Trudeau told reporters before a Cabinet retreat in Ottawa.
Canada, like Mexico, sends around 75% of its goods exports to the United States. The three nations signed a new continental free trade pact in late 2018.
But this August, U.S. President Donald Trump said he would reimpose 10% tariffs on some Canadian aluminum products to protect U.S. industry from a “surge” in imports. Canada denies any impropriety.

“Canada, like Mexico, sends around 75% of its goods exports to the United States.”
I’ll buy bottled beer, no problem. And the airline industry manufacturing is on hold, so we’ll be just fine Blackface Boy.
Younger one on the left watched “Cuties” on netflix more than once.
Leader on the right is too busy MAGA, hates pedo content.
Well, we’ll see who blinks first.
Canadian aluminum, or Chinese aluminum laundered through Canada?
I’m so glad our great leader President Trump hoisted this mommy’s boy by the ankles and bitch slapped him on the world stage.
There is no smug, arrogant communist (so little deserving of arrogance) that needed to be bitch slapped more than this little over-compensating, scandal-ridden communist.

Who do you think will more easily survive a pissing contest?
Bitch slapped? We’re well past that. Alberta needs to leave. Trudeau has straight up committed treason many times and is well documented, yet the RCMP won’t act. Anther reason we are kicking them out of Alberta.
On the American left coast the idiots are tearing down hydro plants. Canada my seem nutty at times but they aren't complete fools. No way they are going to tear down their hydro plants.
“Canadian aluminum, or Chinese aluminum laundered through Canada?”
as best as i can tell, trump re-imposed tariffs on canadian aluminum because Trudeau broke his promise not to flood the US with canadian aluminum, and US makers were forced to shutdown smelters and layoff US workers ...
And, unbelievably, Canada seems to have better forest management. ..because the fed Govt leases to PRIVATE organizations.
Bingo. The only post on this thread that hit the nail on the head.
