Global National: June 3, 2025 | Why is Trump Doubling Steel and Aluminium Tariffs?
In a bold move that is poised to reshape U.S. trade dynamics, President Donald Trump has officially signed an executive order to double tariffs on American steel and aluminium imports, escalating them from 25% to a staggering 50%. Amidst mounting tensions in global trade, Trump justifies this drastic measure as a necessary step to protect U.S. industries from foreign competition, particularly focusing on national security concerns. This increase in tariffs is expected to take effect shortly, creating ripples both domestically and internationally as leaders and economists assess the impact on various sectors.
The Canadian government, keenly aware of the implications of these tariffs on its own steel and aluminium industries, is reacting swiftly. In tandem with these developments, Canadian officials are grappling with their own legislative measures aimed at tightening border security. A new bill has been introduced that equips border officers, police, Canada Post employees, and Health Canada with enhanced powers to address the growing concerns surrounding illegal immigration and fentanyl trafficking, particularly in light of Trump’s demands. This move seeks to strike a delicate balance between meeting U.S. expectations and prioritizing Canadian public safety.
Meanwhile, the situation in Saskatchewan is deteriorating as wildfires ravage northern and central regions of the province. Residents are increasingly vocal about their dissatisfaction with the provincial government’s response to this escalating crisis. The deepening fire emergency has prompted calls for Premier Scott Moe to take decisive action, as community sentiment grows restless amidst the fire threats.
In a lighter, yet heartwarming segment, viewers are introduced to Amber, a dog who has stunned her owners and the community with her incredible, 160-kilometre journey across 36 days. After going missing, Amber’s adventurous spirit led her to swim to a nearby island, ultimately resulting in her safe return. This captivating tale of resilience offers a brief reprieve from the pressing issues dominating the news cycle.
As this episode unfolds, it becomes evident that both international and domestic challenges are shaping the narrative in Canada and the U.S., with repercussions that could impact citizens in multiple spheres of life.

Taco 🌮 Trump 🤣
Trump is a madman, but thanks for voting for him America…
Market manipulation in a nutshell.
trump never listen and do what he want
Stop all potash exports to the US for security reasons
Canada needs to stop trading aluminium and steel manufactured to the American market. Let's use the product within the Canadian provinces and share the excess manufactured with Asian and European markets.
Why are we not doubling our retailtory tariffs?
Don't make any deal with taco
Trump he's becoming vary annoying 😮😮
Who names there child Mercedes 🤔
🙄 trump is sillier than pierre. Trust the US to outdo us as usual.
Why are you so worried about exports? We should be more worried about imports from the United States.
Trumps is awesome !
He takes notes! Hahahahaha taco boy!
I would stop shipping anything until the people wake up and change the cult in Amerikkka.
Glo bull and YT hard at work making sure facts don't show up in the comments.
No understanding at all. Trade with other countries and open up the provinces across Canada. We need to look after ourselves and should have been doing that in the first place.
Wow… so glad the elbows up boomers voted carney in. He is really "dealikg with trump" lol
Because we don't spend money on defense
it's simple Nippon greased Trump and Trump added an enhancement to seal the deal (allegedly)
where is elbows up? Liberals voters asked for it
We have 0 tarriffs on the US, Carney lied to canadians during the campaign and has no plan to serve canadians just his subsidiaries of Brookfield making himself richer
51ST STATE IMMEDIATELY
America is broke, that's why. What is Carney going to do now? Will he reverse his 0% tariffs on the U.S. that he set on April 16th?
Just don't send them any. Ford get on the phone, send the steel elsewhere.
If you can’t trust America in a bona fide trade agreement, can we trust him in some serving military alliance? I really doubt it, Canada needs to join the EU.
Time to triple the electricity
Trump is trying to destroy us.
The free-trade agreement was broken by its own architect: Trump; and now the dude is looking for whoever to blame and punish, but not him!!
All the nations that manipulated their currency value with quantitative easing set this in motion.
I'm loving this C2 bill.!! Great protection 👍
Howard Nutlick … 😂
I honestly cannot keep up with these tariffs. They are on, then cancelled, then on, then changed, paused, reduced, increased… the trump administration is just manipulating the stock market to get the rich richer
