Canada's Freeland: US tariffs on steel and aluminum are illegal

Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland crossed the wires in the last hour, via Reuters, stating that Canada hadn't received a formal or informal notification of any additional U.S. tariffs.

Freeland reiterated that U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum were illegal and added that they were  going to consult on the proposed countermeasures before they come into force on July 1. According to Freeland,  Canada's response to those tariffs would continue to be measured and proportionate.
