Harley sales in Canada are up 4.3% since 2015. Trump has said he would impose a 25% tariff on steel imports and a 10% tariff on aluminum imports, a move welcomed by the U.S. steel industry but opposed by manufacturers of metal products.
The EU said earlier its response would be “swift, firm and proportional.”
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Trump's planned steel and aluminum tariffs are "absolutely unacceptable" and would cause serious disruption of markets on both sides of the border.
