- Canada issues statement on steel and aluminum tariffs imposed by U.S. In a May 31 speech, Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland stated, “The United States’ decision to impose tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum shipments is totally unacceptable. In response to these measures, Canada intends to impose tariffs on imports of steel, aluminum and other products from the United States -- representing the total value of 2017 Canadian exports affected by the U.S. measures. That is $16.6 billion. We are imposing dollar-for-dollar tariffs for every dollar levied against Canadians by the United States.”
- CITT upholds finding on Korean liquid dielectric transformers. The Canadian International Trade Tribunal issued a statement May 31 that said it continued its finding made on Nov. 20, 2012, in Inquiry No. NQ-2012-001, concerning the dumping of liquid dielectric transformers from South Korea. CITT found that the dumping of liquid dielectric transformers from South Korea is likely to result in injury. The Canada Border Services Agency will therefore continue to impose antidumping duties on these products.
