Carney singles out China in crackdown on non-U.S. steel

As the Canadian steel industry reels from U.S. tariffs, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced his own near-worldwide tariffs to defend it, promising that all countries but the U.S. and Mexico will face 50 per cent steel tariffs on imports beyond set quotas — and another 25 per cent if any of it was made in China. Industry Minister Mélanie Joly tells Power & Politics that her government 'needed to act' to protect Canada's steel production capacity, and that she's aware of concerns over price increases. Plus, Canadian Steel Producers Association president Catherine Cobden says the measures are 'not complete relief, but some relief' from the 'devastating situation' U.S. tariffs have created.
