Tariffs dropped on Canadian Steel?

This is clearly A.I. and I can find no supporting news. But that doesnt make the facts wrong. They are indeed spot on.. However, if it proves true, then the US can look to be paying a premium for future orders as Canada has found other customers now. On the other hand, American manufacturers will need less steel as their own market shrinks..😷

I’m Canadian with a local steel mill. The US tarriffs didn’t do us any favours thats for sure. Rumour has it that we are paying the tarriffs for some of the US orders so we don’t lose the contracts of the big automakers. (And our gov’t is subsidizing the steel mill in return).
Its a temporary solution

I haven't heard a thing all day about tariffs being dropped on Canadian steel destined for the USA, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were a backroom deal in the making.

What I did hear yesterday was that Canadian sales of US-made automobiles are essentially non-existent, meaning Canadians are no longer buying American-made cars or light trucks, even if those vehicles are being assembled in Canada by Canadian auto workers.

That alone would reduce the steel being exported from Canada to the USA to a mere trickle of what it once was, but Asian markets have been quickly picking up the slack as Canadian rolled steel heads across the Pacific by the boatload.

@swirlie Will they be the very best? Probably not. Just better than US built cars. I bought my Mitsubishi partly because I KNOW it was built in Japan..😷

@swirlie Like early Korean cars.. They will "OK". If it works the same as here, the makers will set up repair and warranty networks through car servicing chains locally..To save dealership workshops. But dont expect "Lexus " quality.😷
