Canada Helps Metal Companies
Introduction
The Canadian government is giving $1.5 billion to help companies that make steel, aluminum, and copper.
Main Body
The U.S. government put high taxes on these metals. This makes it hard for Canadian companies to sell their products in the U.S. Canada will give $1 billion in loans. These loans have 0% interest for the first year. Companies can pay the money back later. Canada also gives $500 million to help small businesses. This money helps them find new countries to sell their products. Canada wants the U.S. to stop these taxes. However, the U.S. government says the taxes will stay.
Conclusion
Canada is giving money to its companies because the U.S. will not change its trade rules.
