Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced retaliatory measures on U.S. steel and aluminum during a press conference on Thursday. “President Trump and I agreed to pursue negotiations towards a deal within the coming thirty days,” Carney said. “Canada will adjust its existing counter tariffs on U.S. steel and aluminum products on the 21st of July — at the end of that thirty days. In other words, we’re going to adjust them to levels consistent with the progress that’s made at that point on the broader trading arrangements with the United States,” Carney said.
