Algoma Steel Seeking $500M in Federal Support Amid Ongoing Concern over U.S. Tariffs
ALGOMA DISTRICT, ONTARIO, JUL 23 – Algoma Steel requests $400 million to $600 million in federal loans to offset the impact of 50% U.S. tariffs that have halved its steel sales to the U.S., CEO said.
- On July 24, 2025, Algoma Steel sought between $400-million and $600-million in loans, The Globe and Mail reported, to support its operations amid U.S. tariffs.
- Under U.S. tariff pressure, Algoma Steel applied for the Large Enterprise Tariff Loan program announced by Ottawa in March, in response to mounting pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump.
- Algoma Steel reported it had sold between 50 and 60 per cent of its steel to the U.S. before tariffs, with enough resources on hand to manage liquidity over the near term.
- Speaking to The Globe and Mail, Garcia described the government's initial loan terms as 'take it or leave it,' while the steel industry warned that selling over 50% of steel to the U.S. puts companies in deep trouble.
- The company plans to evaluate capital investments in defense and construction to reinforce industrial resilience and low-carbon transformation, future support will depend on the trade dispute's duration and market exposure to unfair imports.
