Canada said Thursday that the U.S. would be hit with $12.8 billion in tariffs on steel, aluminum, and other products such as beer and whiskey, in retaliation for the U.S. lifting an exemption for the country from its new tariffs on steel and aluminum.

Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said the U.S.’ claim that its tariffs were needed for national security reasons is wrong, noting that the U.S. and Canada are long-standing allies.
