Trump announced the move on Thursday, saying he wants to slap a 25 per cent tariff on steel imports and a 10 per cent duty on aluminum. President Donald Trump has announced the U. S. will slap a 25 per cent tariff on steel imports and a 10 per cent tariff on aluminum. If the tariffs do go through, Howe believes Canada will retaliate in such a way that it will deter the Americans. Howe's union, the United Steelworkers, is already lobbying the U.S. government for changes, he says, and hopes American ownership in the Canadian steel industry will put Canada at an advantage. Hejazi says Canada is too financially dependent on the U.S. and adds he would like to see Canada trade more with other countries.
