Carney heads to Hamilton to meet steelworkers as U.S. trade talks continue
HAMILTON, ONTARIO, CANADA, JUL 16 – Prime Minister Mark Carney plans support for Canadian steelworkers amid U.S. tariffs that caused a 30% production drop, as negotiations with the U.S. intensify before an Aug. 1 deadline.
- On July 16, 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney visited Hamilton, Ontario, where he revealed new measures aimed at aiding the Canadian steel industry amid escalating tariffs imposed by the United States.
- The visit followed months of negotiations with U.S. President Donald Trump, who imposed and then doubled tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum from 25 to 50 percent, citing national security concerns.
- Carney met virtually with his cabinet on July 15, 2025, stating he does not expect a U.S. trade deal without some tariffs and signaling intensifying negotiations before an August 1 deadline pushed by Trump.
- The Canadian Steel Producers Association revealed that steel production has declined by 30 percent since tariffs were introduced, with CEO Catherine Cobden cautioning that the industry’s future strength is at serious risk.
- Carney's announcement in Hamilton suggests the government aims to support the steel sector amid tariff pressures, though some tariffs may remain part of any new U.S. trade agreement.
