U.S. Tariffs Raise Concerns for Canada’s Welding Industry
The CWB Association has expressed concerns over the U.S. administration’s proposed tariffs on Canadian imports, which include a 25% tariff on various goods and a 10% tariff on energy resources. These measures could significantly impact businesses and workers in the welding and materials joining industry, affecting supply chains, costs, and cross-border trade.
The association is calling for continued negotiations to prevent disruptions to an industry that plays a key role in Canada’s infrastructure, manufacturing, and energy sectors. With over a century of experience in welding standards and workforce development, the CWB Association emphasizes the need for strong collaboration between Canada and the United States to maintain industry stability.
Alongside the CWB Foundation, the association remains committed to supporting the welding sector and preparing future professionals. As the situation develops, the organization plans to work with industry partners and government stakeholders to advocate for policies that protect businesses and workers in the welding community.
