The United Steelworkers union strongly condemns U.S. President Trump’s plan to impose 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, which threaten Canadian jobs and disrupt supply chains. Canada imports 39% of its steel from the U.S. and exported $15.9 billion worth of aluminum to the U.S. in 2024. Without an exemption for Canada, the union is calling for immediate counter-tariffs and enhanced support for workers and industries. USW International President Dave McCall denounces the decision, emphasizing the need for policies that protect manufacturing jobs in both countries. The USW will continue to advocate for Canadian workers and industries.
