US tariffs on Canadian aluminium: American workers and consumers at risk
11 February 2025
Canada’s aluminium industry finds unfair and highly disruptive the 25% tariffs announced by the US administration. “A 25% tariff on our aluminium going to the US will only hurt US jobs, US industries – including defence, automative, construction, and housing,” said Jean Simard, President and CEO of the Aluminium Association of Canada. “At a time when you want to keep the price of everyday goods down, and ensure good American manufacturing jobs, a tariff will only drive prices higher – hurting Americans in their pocketbooks and undermining the agenda the US government says it wants to achieve.”
