Tarifs sur l’acier et l’aluminium : « On a fait part de nos inquiétudes », assure LeBlanc
AI Article Summary

Canadian minister Dominic LeBlanc discussed concerns with U.S. commerce secretary Howard Lutnick regarding the U.S. decision to increase tariffs on steel and aluminum from 25% to 50%. The Canadian government, alongside ex-Quebec Premier Jean Charest, criticized the tariffs as unlawful and harmful to Canada's economy, impacting the export of Canadian steel and aluminum. This move by the Trump administration is seen as part of a broader strategy of applying global tariffs to extract concessions in trade agreements.
