📝 Summary

Ottawa will impose a 25 percent duty on US imports worth $20.6 billion. The new fees come into force on March 13. This was stated by the Minister of Finance of Canada Dominic LeBlanc.

Fees will be levied on steel, aluminum, and some sporting goods. “Today, I am announcing that the Government of Canada, following the dollar-for-dollar approach, will introduce from midnight, tomorrow, March 13, 2025, 25% retaliatory duties on an additional 29.8 billion Canadian dollars (about $20 billion) of imports from the United States,” LeBlanc said. He added that Canadians will meet with Americans in Washington on March 13 to resolve trade disputes. Earlier, US President Donald Trump ordered to increase from 25% to 50% duties on Canadian steel and aluminum due to margins on electricity supplies to the United States from the province of Ontario. After that, Ontario Premier Doug Ford canceled the fees, and Trump refused to raise the duties.
