Industry Minister Mélanie Joly confirmed Ottawa is reviewing remarks by Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. CEO Lourenco Goncalves, who suggested buying Stelco to shield U.S. Operations from Canadian competition. The federal government is examining potential implications of these comments.
The U.S. Has imposed tariffs on Canadian trash following President Donald Trump’s policies, prompting Ontario’s environment minister to consider burning more garbage for energy and expanding landfills. This follows a broader shift in U.S.-Canada environmental policy.
Recent trade negotiations between Canada and the U.S. Have seen limited progress, according to a Canadian official. The talks aim to address trade tensions, particularly around tariffs on automotive and steel imports. Ottawa and Washington are working to reduce U.S. Duties on Canadian goods.

The situation reflects ongoing challenges in U.S.-Canada trade relations, with both nations navigating complex economic and political dynamics. The outcome of these talks could have significant implications for cross-border commerce.
