"It's, once again, a bad decision, an ill-advised decision from the Americans," said Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard. The province produces the majority of Canada's aluminum and is a major supplier of aluminum to the U.S., and the aluminum industry accounts for nearly 30,000 Quebec jobs. ​Details on whether all countries, including Canada, will face the hefty tariffs have not yet been released. "We believe vital trading partners, including Canada, should be exempt from any tariff on aluminum," the company said in a statement. "The aluminum industry has an integrated supply chain and actions should not penalize those that abide by the rules."
