Trump tariff hit list grows in a blow to a Canadian steel industry struggling ‘for its very existence’

[shockedcanadian]

Trumps administration appears focused on returning critical industries back to America. Some of these industries will.come from Europe and Japan, locations more willing to invest in U.S jobs and production. Others will come.from China and Canada, two nations not as willing to invest in U.S jobs and production. Steel producrion is in trouble here so I expect a large swath of tax.dollars to be applied to prop it up. Trump tariff hit list grows in a blow to a Canadian steel industry struggling ‘for its very existence’.
Canadian steel and aluminum industries already reeling from Donald Trump’s 50 per cent tariffs have received another blow — hundreds of products containing the metals have been added to the American target list.
The 407 items, ranging from wind turbines and tractors to baby strollers and furniture, were added to a list of “derivative” products announced Tuesday by U.S. Commerce Secretary Jeffrey Kessler.

“Today’s action expands the reach of the steel and aluminum tariffs and shuts down avenues for circumvention — supporting the continued revitalization of the American steel and aluminum industries,” Kessler said in announcing the decision.
The new items will face a 50 per cent tariff on the value of any steel or aluminum used, rather than on their entire price. But the message to manufacturers is still clear, said the head of the Canadian Steel Producers’ Association: Use American metals, or else.

Trump's NWO. Knuckle under.

He'll probably ease up some if he gets the agricultural concessions he wants from Canada.

Canada supports its Steele industry putting Americans out of business

PM Carney is going to have a press conference in a couple of minutes. Canada is concerned about a few core outcomes due to Trump not buckling to the "wait it out" strategy that Canada (and China too I presume) are employing.

The concern is that Alberta and Saskatchewan may separate, in essence, Trumps suggestion that Canada become the 51st State could gain further traction despite resistance in some corners.

Also, the auto industry, steel and aluminum in Ontario are going to exit Canada entirely. Lumber in B.C going to decrease significantly.

I can't lie. When Foreign Affairs member speaks to Rubio regarding sanctioning one of our judges I couldn't help but think about how citizens like me have to reach out to U.S agencies and others to get help since my own nation allows the Creepy Ones to destroy citizens.

What I will say is that abuses against me, the theft of my life and freedoms, my home, my retirement, multiple careers, ensures that our nation is optics and not substance when it involves out Charter of Rights. It's crushed my soul and I am constantly kicked while I am down. It seems Canada is in the same boat now as our unemployment skyrockets.

Is it just my imagination or have the Trump Tariffs forced Canada's Liberal government to get rid of a truly awful Prime Minister and even begin to tighten up on terrorism and the drug trade?

Or am I being too optimistic?

Thread 'Are President Trump's Tariffs forcing foreign nations to clamp down on some types of crime that can be exported to USA?'

Jan 21, 2026

I am Canadian and it sure does seem to me as if the President Donald J. Trump suggestion for Canada to become the fifty first state has resulted in some pretty serious discussions in the Canadian province of Alberta related to Alberta leaving Canada?

President Trump's talk of Tariffs on Canada forced Canada's ruling Liberal Party to fire Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and go looking for a new leader.

I also have read news items that indicate that Canada's Liberal government seems to be tightening up on certain types of crime that tend to be exported to the USA, [such as drugs and...
