Canada to divert aluminum to Europe in response to Trump tariffs - National | Globalnews.ca

The cost of aluminum for consumers in Europe buying on the physical market has dropped due to expectations that Canadian shipments under U.S. tariffs from Tuesday will be diverted, physical market traders said.
. . .
The U.S. is a major importer of aluminum used widely in the transport, packaging and construction industries, shipping in 5.46 million metric tons of aluminum products in 2023, according the U.S. Commerce Department.
According to the Commerce Department, Canada accounted for 3.08 million tons or 56 per centof aluminum product imports to the United States for domestic consumption in 2023, the latest full year data available.
That is the appropriate answer to rapist-donald and his friends. We literally produce half of their aluminum (edit: imported aluminium, 1/4 overall). USA will face the biggest construction crisis they ever faced. We cannot trust this under-educated country ever again, it's time to build permanent partnership with the rest of the world and bring down the US for good, they're to dangerous for the survival of the specie.
Half of their imported aluminum, not half of the total. It's an important distinction.
right, american production of aluminum metal is 1/4 of canadian production. it also critically depends on cheap elecrticity, canadians have nuclear powerplants and hydro, and guess what other funny thing canadians can do
e: i can't read
it breaks down like this: american production of aluminum 750k tons, canadian 3000k tons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_aluminium_production), 95% of canadian aluminum exports go to usa (https://oec.world/en/profile/bilateral-product/raw-aluminium/reporter/can#trade-flow), and comparing export value, price per ton and manufacture, it looks like most of manufacture goes to export, let's say 90%, of which 95% goes to usa, that is somewhere around 2560k tons. this is 56% of imports, so the rest is about 2010k tons. so out of 5320k tons total, canadians can just take away almost half
I don't expect forgiveness, but I'd like you to know I'm sorry for the way my country is acting
Giving in to blind hate against your neighbours does nothing but help trump's puppetmasters, who thrive on dividing allies. Keep calm and leave your elected officials do their jobs ( for now ).
It's not just blind hate, it's a nation of under-educated racist bullies who are literally threatening to annex my country and are now cheering at nazi salute. You want us to engage in polite discussion with nazis? They choose to elect a literal pedophile (Epstein's closest friend, it's on tape) TWICE. What do you think these fascists pigs would do people like me: half-indigenous, half french-canadian and bi? They would fucking put me into a reeducation camp until I die. Americans can shot each other as much as they want, good for them, but they are now an ennemi and a real threat to the our species, that's not just an image. Our officials are just your basic neo-liberals fucks, we need to bring this entire system down, starting with fascist USA.
As a US-ian, I don’t know whether to upvote or downvote. The concern is real and response appropriate, but then you go off into the weeds, and …… take a breath. Politics bounces back and forth but has usually been somewhat sane. It might be again
Your country is threatening to annex mine...You want us to wait and hope your dictator becomes reasonable?
I mean your country IS under educated and it does need to lose some of its dominance imo. The US and its market influence is the main driving force behind all the bad IP law and privacy disasters of the past few decades. Countries need to start ignoring the US more when making decisions.
nah you got it right first time around, it's closer to half overall
