Reuters links Trump tariffs to declining Quebec separatism support

Aug 22, 2026

The Reuters segment examines how U.S. President Trump's tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, imposed in 2025 and later increased, have economically damaged Quebec's key industries. It visits a steel plant near Montreal that previously exported 90% of output to the U.S., where orders reportedly fell 25-30% quickly due to tariffs and uncertainty. The report ties this to a drop in support for Quebec separatism to its lowest levels in decades, noting the leading Parti Québécois has pledged not to hold an independence referendum while Trump remains in office until 2029.
