'Americans were apologising…': Trump border crackdown shuts US-Canada library door for Canadians

Economic Times27-04-2025
The U.S. blocked Canadians from entering the historic Haskell Free Library through its U.S. entrance without border checks, citing security concerns. Built to symbolise cross-border friendship, the library now faces new barriers, sparking frustration and solidarity among users. Two-thirds of the Haskell Free Library and Opera House sits in Canada. The rest is in the United States, including the building's main entrance. Until recently, Canadians were able to access the library though its main entrance in the U.S. state of Vermont without going through a formal border crossing or showing a passport. Then the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump announced Canadians would be forbidden from entering the library though the U.S. side unless they were library members. From October 1st, everyone will have to go through border control to enter through it. Show more 04:24

India recommends import tariffs for three years on some steel products

India has recommended a three-year import tariff of 11%-12% on some steel products to curb shipments from top producer China. The levy, if imposed, will start at 12%. It will be eased to 11.5% in the second year and to 11% in the third year, the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) said in a notification dated August 16. "The Authority concludes that there is a recent, sudden, sharp and significant increase in imports," the notification said, adding that this could cause serious injury to the domestic steel sector. The DGTR also said that due to 50% tariffs on steel imports into the U.S., coupled with similar measures by other countries, a bulk of steel volumes are lying with manufacturers across the world. "Therefore, the safeguard duty must address, not only the serious injury suffered by the domestic also the threat of serious injury that is likely to arise in the future." The final recommendation follows preliminary findings, after which the Indian government in April imposed a 12% temporary tariff for 200 days Earlier on Monday, Japanese steel lobby groups said they have requested the early introduction of measures to prevent the evasion of anti-dumping tariffs aimed at protecting their domestic sector from unfair imports. U.S. President Donald Trump's import tariffs on steel have fuelled a wave of trade frictions against Chinese steel, with countries including South Korea and Vietnam imposing anti-dumping levy.
