Sault's Algoma Steel in crisis as U.S. doubles Canadian steel tariffs
The U.S. has doubled tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum to 50%, raising fears for Sault Ste. Marie’s Algoma Steel, the city’s largest employer. Union leaders warn the hike could force the company to operate at a loss, risking layoffs. Mayor Matthew Shoemaker says prolonged tariffs could devastate the community, leading to job losses and business closures.
