Trudeau Trains Guns At China, Accuses Dragon Of Dumping Cheap Steel On Global Markets

BySwarajya Staff

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau today (13 March) accused China of flooding various global markets with cheap steel and aluminium and said that his government had already taken steps to prevent China from “dumping” cheap metal into Canada, reports AFP.

We are very concerned about the actions taken by China and the dumping of steel and aluminum on the global market.
Justin Trudeau

Trudeau’s statements come in the aftermath of United States’ President Donald Trump’s decision to impose a steep tariff on the import of steel and aluminium that has seen tensions rise among its allies.

Canada is among the top exporters of steel to the United States along with Japan and but has received an exemption from the new import tariffs.
