Canada will impose dollar-for-dollar countermeasures on the U.S. after President Donald Trump said he would reinstate 10% tariffs on some Canadian aluminum imports.

“In response to the American tariffs, Canada intends to swiftly impose dollar-for-dollar countermeasures,” Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said in a statement. She called the U.S tariffs “unwarranted and unacceptable.,” noting that Canadian aluminum does not undermine U.S. national security but strengthens it.
