US Trump President's aluminum tariff on Canada 10% added August 7 12:44
US President Trump has revealed that he will add a 10 percent tariff on the surge in aluminum imports from Canada. There seems to be an aim to appeal the attitude of protecting their own industries and workers for the autumn presidential election.
President Trump said in a statement in the Midwest Ohio state on the 6th, saying, "We will protect a great company and a great worker," and will add a 10% tariff to some of the aluminum imported from Canada I chose
The Trump administration puts high tariffs on aluminum imported from various countries, but excluding it from Canada in May last year based on the NAFTA = North American Free Trade Agreement review agreement, and imports into Canada. In the case of a sudden increase, the conditions for adding tariffs were added.
The tariffs added this time are due to a surge in aluminum imports from Canada over the last few months, and they will be applied starting this month.
In response, the Government of Canada issued a statement that "it is unjust and we will take countermeasures."
The measures are likely to appeal to the US presidential election in November, which is to protect their own industries and workers.
