Canadian CEO supports Trump's steel tariffs, wishes they were even higher
Barry Zekelman of Windsor, Ont., offers all employees a $1,000 bonus while the tariffs are in place

The Windsor, Ont.-area owner of a North American steel tube and pipe empire is backing U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs and offering all employees a $1,000 annual bonus while the policy is in effect.
Barry Zekelman said Trump's talk about a 25 per cent tariff for steel and 10 per cent for aluminum provides an example the Canadian government should follow, with one addition.
"Is that 25 per cent duty enough? I don't think it is and I actually think those duties should be much higher," he said.
Canada has been seeking an exemption to the threat of taxes Trump announced last week. On Monday, the president said he would only exempt Canada if a new "fair" North American Free Trade Agreement is signed.

Zekelman has 15 manufacturing locations on both sides of the border, with the bulk in the U.S. and one in Harrow, Ont.
Following Trump's tariffs announcement, Zekelman issued a news release, including a letter sent to the company's 2,300 employees, celebrating the president's move and vowing "WE WILL WIN IN A FAIR FIGHT."
"I am pleased to announce a one thousand-dollar ($1,000) bonus for each of you as a direct result of policy changes announced by President Trump," he wrote. "This bonus will be paid as soon as the announced changes go into effect and will be paid annually so long as the policies remain in effect."
'Dirty Dozen' are depressing steel prices
Zekelman said illegal steel dumping from 12 countries he refers to as the Dirty Dozen has "artificially depressed" steel prices in North America for decades.
The metal enters the continent in a variety of ways, but the CEO said China has been especially successful at circumnavigating existing tariffs by shipping their steel in as mailboxes, lockers and other products for which suppliers don't have to pay duties.
Here's how China "cheats the system" on steel imports0:26
"They have extensive ways to cheat our system and we need to stop being so nice about it and we need to hold them accountable."
Zekelman said he believes Trump's tariff threat includes Canada because it's easier to make a "blanket move" and deal with exceptions after the fact.
"President Trump doesn't view Canada as an enemy."
Zekelman also believes Trump is using the tariffs as a strategy in the ongoing NAFTA talks.
"I do firmly believe that eventually this will get worked out with Canada. I believe President Trump is a businessman, he's not used to being a politician, he wants things to move much quicker," Zekelman said. "In doing that he will use leverage in any way possible to get a proper deal done. Even if that means dragging [in] Canada."
'There will be job losses'
Not everyone in Windsor-Essex views the tariff talk in such a positive way.
RJ Steel Company president Ryan Jordan said his costs have already gone up.
"I've been warned to start preparing quotes to absorb the rising costs of steel," he said. "It hasn't stopped. It seems every month I call the prices go up."
'I think [Trump's] whole trade war thing is stupid. He's just going to hurt his own country, let alone others.'- David Harrison, Chrysler Assembly Plant
Jordan said if prices continue to rise, he would have no choice but to raise his prices too, and he hopes all the trade talk will turn out to be just that — talk. But if Trump makes good on his 25 per cent tariff threat, the impact at RJ Steel would be serious, he said.
"We will be in trouble. We'll have to find some other product to manufacture, something that can incorporate other materials, other metals. From a smaller manufacturer like myself, to Chrysler, if the tariffs are that severe, I believe there will be job losses."
Employees stopped outside the Chrysler Assembly Plant in Windsor said they were worried about the tariffs.
Daniel Campbell said if costs rise, he fears Chrysler could move production to another country.

David Harrison said he can't understand how creating duties will benefit either country.
"It's going to increase prices on a lot of thing," he added. "I think [Trump's] whole trade war thing is stupid. He's just going to hurt his own country, let alone others."
Canada 'not the guilty party'
Zekelman said he was invited to the White House last week when the president was set to announce the tariffs.
The CEO was out of the country at the time, but said if he's invited again this week, he would gladly sit with Trump at the table.
"I'm trying to balance this and walk a fine line. I will tell you that absolutely in no way is Canada a contributing factor to any hardships in the U.S. steel industry," he explained. "I'm using every tool I have to hopefully get Canada excluded or exempted from this action because really we're not the guilty party."

刘鹤先生去美国的目的，中英文报道很多，甚至新华社也有报道，看您这么认真地洗地，我再把窗户纸捅破，是不是是有点太残忍了，算了。
您操心红朝的事，不比别人少，别人当娱乐看，您是真的认真。说实话，我从来没觉得在CFC上操心任何政治，有什么用（去国会山游行，是个例外），我一直以娱乐的心情，看各种政治新闻。不过，操心红朝的事也没什么，很正常，谁没几个亲戚朋友还生活在红朝啊。例如，我的父母，兄弟姐妹，和他们的家庭，都还生活在红朝啊。你一边很认真地为刘鹤先生去美国的目的洗地，一边号召大家别关心红朝，我不太理解。
另外，我好奇问问，您操心NFTA真的有用吗? 您觉得您是谁? 当然，我可能看走了眼，CFC藏龙卧虎，您是什么高人，也说不准，如果您不是什么高人，我不得不提醒您，做好准备，您兜里的加币即使跌成屎了，您也得吃了。我不得不说，在CFC，您给刘鹤洗地，比关心NAFTA，效果更好。

Top White House economic adviser Gary Cohn, a Wall Street banker who opposes hefty steel and aluminum tariffs planned by U.S. President Donald Trump, announced on Tuesday that he was resigning.
"It has been an honour to serve my country and enact pro-growth economic policies to benefit the American people, in particular the passage of historic tax reform. I am grateful to the president for giving me this opportunity and wish him and the administration great success in the future," Cohn said in a statement issued by the White House.
His departure as director of the National Economic Council came after a little more than a year on the job.
Following the news of Cohn's departure, the U.S. dollar weakened, while an exchange-traded fund tracking the broad market S&P 500 dipped one per cent.
Trump's announcement last week of his plans to impose the tariffs sent U.S. stock prices tumbling and came after an intense debate within the White House between Cohn and other advocates of free trade, on one side, and protectionist advisers such as Peter Navarro on the other, White House sources said.
Cohn, a former president and chief operating officer of investment bank Goldman Sachs, was seen as a bulwark within the White House against protectionist policies. Business lobbyists frequently cited Cohn as their strongest ally in the White House.
"Gary Cohn is one of the true Wall Street all stars behind the Trump tax plan. He will be missed. We thought he might switch mid-term and become the treasury secretary. He is that good," said Andrew Brenner, the head of international fixed income at NatAlliance Securities LLC.
The White House statement said Cohn's departure date is to be determined but will take effect in a few weeks.
