Major trade organizations in the US aluminum industry are pushing for Canada and Mexico to levy the same tariffs as the US on imports of aluminum products from outside of North America. Chuck Johnson, CEO of the American Aluminum Association, said, “No matter what kind of tariffs the US imposes on aluminum products, we want to see Canada and Mexico adopt consistent tariff policies and apply the same tariff rates to aluminum products from other parts of the world at their respective borders, thus ensuring fair trade within North America.” When asked if the association wants the US to cut tariffs by 50%, Johnson said that the organization has no position.
