Global National: June 3, 2025 | Why is Trump doubling steel and aluminium tariffs?

Video Description

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to double pre-existing tariffs on American steel and aluminium imports from 25 to 50 per cent. Mercedes Stephenson explains how the Republican leader is justifying his decision, how soon the hike will take effect and how Canadian officials are reacting. And, the Canadian government has introduced a bill aimed at tightening Canada-U.S. border security. It gives new powers to border officers, police, Canada Post workers and even Health Canada. David Akin explains how the bill is trying to balance U.S. President Donald Trump's demands with Canada's domestic concerns about illegal immigration and fentanyl trafficking. With wildfires raging across the northern and central parts of the Prairies, Saskatchewan residents are becoming more frustrated about their province's response.

Plus, a dog that vanished for more than a month has been rescued after an epic 160-kilometre journey spanning 36 days, including a solo swim to a nearby island.
