Ottawa, Canada – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has raised concerns over the impact of U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs in a meeting with U.S. Vice President JD Vance. Trudeau specifically highlighted how these tariffs are affecting industries in Vance’s home state, urging the Biden administration to reconsider its trade policies.
The discussion took place amid ongoing tensions over U.S. protectionist measures, which have significantly impacted Canadian exports. Trudeau emphasized the economic consequences for both countries, warning that prolonged tariffs could strain cross-border trade and harm workers on both sides.
While Vance acknowledged Trudeau’s concerns, the U.S. stance on tariffs remains firm as part of broader efforts to protect domestic manufacturing. The issue is expected to be a key topic in future trade negotiations between Canada and the U.S.
