U.S. Metal Manufacturers Statement on Section 232 Aluminum Tariffs on Canada
The Coalition of American Metal Manufacturers and Users (CAMMU) issued the following statement:
The last 24 hours is more evidence of why the reliance on tariffs as a trade policy was largely abandoned in the 1930s. Hours after President Trump reimposed 10% Section 232 tariffs on aluminum imports from Canada, the Canadian government announced that it will place $2.7 billion in tariffs on U.S. aluminum exports. The North American supply chain is integrated and aluminum-using manufacturers on both sides of the border will be hurt by these tariffs.
