OTTAWA — U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that he will impose 25 per cent tariffs on all aluminum and steel imports to the U.S., including those from Canada, on March 12.

Here’s the latest news:

5 a.m.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Ottawa will work to convince the U.S. that President Donald Trump’s promised tariffs will hurt both countries.

A senior government official says Trudeau spoke with U.S. Vice-President JD Vance about the impact steel tariffs would have in Ohio, which Vance previously represented in the U.S. Senate.

Trudeau and Vance are both in Paris for a global summit on AI.

Trudeau briefly spoke to reporters before attending a plenary at the summit where Vance spoke.
