Canada’s measures against US tariffs will not help its economy: White House

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders told a media briefing on Monday, July 2, that Canada’s measures to impose tariffs on imports of aluminium, steel and other products from US worth C$16.6 billion ($12.63 billion) in response to U.S. tariffs on Canadian aluminium and steel will not help Canada’s economy, Reuters reported.

“Escalating tariffs against the United States does nothing to help Canada. It only hurts American workers,” Sarah Sanders said.

“We’ve been very nice to Canada for many years, and they’ve taken advantage of that - particularly advantage of our farmers,” Sanders said. “The president is working to fix the broken system, and he’s going to continue pushing for that.”

Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on US products went into effect on Sunday, July 1.The Government of Canada said the measures will defend and protect the aluminium, steel and manufacturing industries.
