Since his return to the White House last month, Trump has taken rapid actions to reshape global trade and American foreign policy through tariffs.

The president signed executive orders Monday to impose 25 per cent levies on all steel and aluminum imports into the United States, including Canadian products, starting March 12.

Those duties were announced one week after Trump agreed to a month-long pause on his plan to slap Canada with 25 per cent across-the-board tariffs on imports, with a lower 10 per cent levy on Canadian energy.
