The US president, Donald Trump, reported Tuesday that he will double the tariffs to steel and Canada aluminum from 25% to 50% from “tomorrow (Wednesday) in the morning.”
Trump’s statement occurs after the province of Ontario imposed costs in electricity to three states in the United States. Trump also threatened with more tariffs that could “permanently close the car manufacturing business in Canada” and repeated that Canada should become the 51st state of the United States.
“Canada must immediately abandon the anti -stating tariffs between 250% and 390% to many US dairy products (…). I will quickly declare a national emergency on electricity in the threatened territory,” Donald Trump wrote in Truth Social.
The US president also threatened to “substantially” increase customs rights over vehicles imported to the United States from April 2 if other tariffs imposed for a long time for Canada “are not also abandoned.”

Doug Ford, Prime Minister of the Province of Ontario, warned in X that it was not about abandoning the export rate while Donald Trump would not have renounced himself to impose customs rights to imports of Canadian products.
“President Trump has declared a commercial and customs war with the closest friend and ally of the United States. While the threat persists, we will not turn back,” he wrote.
In the stock market, the actions of the American groups of the steel and the aluminum rose after the ads of Donald Trump, while the automobile manufacturers fell strongly.
