This government is working with affected companies today, and I back industry’s application to the Trade Remedies Authority to investigate what further steps might be necessary to protect UK producers
Our government must act decisively to protect the steel industry and its workers following the announcement of US tariffs. This is a matter of national security
We're not going to retaliate immediately in that way."
We have the means to go further, if we want,
Where we stand now is with a heightened concern about the U.S. economy, not having yet taken our model forecast down, but having put in a roughly 40% recession risk into the outlook for the year,
The European Union must act to protect consumers and business. The counter-measures we take today are strong but proportionate."

The UK aluminium sector is already seeing the first impacts of these tariffs
We will keep all options on the table and won't hesitate to respond in the national interest
My government will ensure our response has maximum impact in the U.S. and minimal impact here in Canada, while supporting the workers impacted,
Tariffs and escalating trade tensions are a form of economic self-harm and a recipe for slower growth and higher inflation. They are paid by the consumers,
To U.S. we export less than 100,000 metric tons,
