Canada to target steel originating from China with new tariffs
OTTAWA — Steel originating in China will be subjected to higher tariffs to tackle steel dumping amid U.S. President Donald Trump's ongoing global trade war, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Wednesday.
Wednesday's announcement included a new 25 per cent tariff on all steel products that contain metal melted and poured in China by the end of the month.
Catherine Cobden, CEO of the Canadian Steel Producers Association, said China is an "egregious" overcapacity practitioner.
