Canada to limit foreign steel imports to help producers hit by U.S. tariffs
Prime Minister Mark Carney is taking action to crack down on the dumping of cheap foreign steel into Canada to help the country's big three steel producers reeling from U.S. President Donald Trump's 50-per-cent tariffs. Mr. Carney in a press conference in Ottawa on Thursday said the government will limit steel imports from countries that don't have a free trade agreement with Canada to 2024 levels. He said the move will 'stabilize the domestic market and prevent harmful trade diversion as the result of the U.S. actions that are destabilizing markets.' Trump in early June doubled tariffs on steel imports to 50 per cent. The Canadian Steel Producers Association, which represents 17 companies, including Algoma Steel Group Inc., Dofasco and Stelco, has repeatedly advocated for antidumping duties to help ease the pain of the U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel producers. Algoma Steel Group Inc. chief executive Michael Garcia has argued on multiple occasions that mills from China, South Korea, Malaysia, India, Vietnam, the Middle East and Turkey regularly dump steel into Canada. That makes it nearly impossible for the company to compete in its home market at a time when the U.S. market has become unviable owing to Mr. Trump's tariffs. He pleaded for the government to immediately place anti-dumping tariffs on the offending countries. Dumping is selling at an artificially low price to gain market share. About 60 per cent of the domestic steel market is controlled by foreign producers. Mr. Carney said that on July 21 Canada will adjust counter tariffs placed on U.S. imports of steel and aluminum to levels that will depend on how ongoing trade talks with the Trump administration are going. When Mr. Trump first imposed 25-per-cent tariffs on Canadian steel imports in March, Ottawa responded by imposing reciprocal tariffs on imports of U.S. steel. But Canada subsequently granted a tariff reprieve on some products coming from the U.S., including steel used in manufacturing and processing. Earlier this week at the G7 summit in Alberta, Mr. Carney said that he and Mr. Trump had agreed to work on a deal that would see the trade war end within 30 days. The government on Thursday also said that effective June 30 it will limit its steel purchases for federal projects to domestic producers and to foreign countries that provide reciprocal access to Canadian companies.

Stop the dump: MSM Malaysia urges action on cheap Thai sugar imports
KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 — MSM Malaysia Holdings Bhd reiterates its call for a tariff on imported sugar to address the ongoing influx of low-priced Thai sugar into the domestic market. Group chief executive officer Syed Feizal Syed Mohammad said MSM, which produces refined sugar for both industrial and retail consumption, and Central Sugars Refinery Sdn Bhd (CSR) have jointly requested the government to consider imposing a tariff on imported sugar, particularly from Thailand, to safeguard the domestic sugar industry from dumping practices. He pointed out that when Thai sugar was dumped into Vietnam's market, the Vietnamese did not hesitate to impose a 48 per cent tariff. 'Our effective production capacity, combined with CSR, is about 2.8 million tonnes per year, and domestic demand is about 1.55 million tonnes per year. 'So we have enough capacity to meet the demand, and there is no need to import sugar,' he told a press conference after MSM's 14th Annual General Meeting here today. Syed Feizal emphasised that MSM can compete in terms of scale and efficiency, but stressed that protection is necessary in cases of price dumping. 'It is not that we cannot compete. But why do we have to face dumping practices? Liberalising the market sometimes works against the local industry and even the ringgit,' he added. Regarding the revision and expansion of the Sales and Service Tax (SST), Syed Feizal said MSM is engaging with the Royal Malaysian Customs Department and the Ministry of Finance (MOF) to determine whether the five per cent SST applies to raw sugar used in production. He said that while MSM could pass on the cost to industrial users, the retail segment, which is governed by a controlled ceiling price, would be impacted. 'What we will not be able to pass on is consumer products, which are on the retail shelves, because these products are under a controlled ceiling price. 'So that clarity is required, and we are engaging the government accordingly,' he added. — Bernama

Love Island fans vent their fury over 'savage' dumping after one girl bids farewell to the villa as they plead 'bring her back for Casa Amor!'
A little over a week into Love Island's new series, fans have already been treated to three dumpings. But Wednesday's axe was one that fans found difficult to swallow, as it was revealed that Malisha Jordan had been dumped after a 'savage' off-screen twist. Tuesday's cliffhanger revealed that bombshell Harrison Solomon would choose either Malisha or Toni Laites to couple up with, with the girl left single immediately dumped from the villa. And in the opening minutes of the next episode, viewers saw the moment Harrison headed into the villa with Toni on his arm, meaning Malisha had exited the show, without a chance to even say her goodbyes. Given she had already ruffled feathers by clashing with Meg Moore, some viewers were quick to share their disappointment that Malisha had left the show, with one even calling for her to return during Casa Amor. Posts on X included: 'Malisha was ROBBED, Dejon and Meg you will not see peace till the end of this season. Trust me;' Tuesday's cliffhanger revealed that bombshell Harrison Solomon would choose either Malisha or Toni Laites to couple up with, with the girl left single immediately dumped from the villa 'Producers done p****d me off. They didn't even give Malisha a proper exit. She just vanished;' 'I feel so sad, Malisha;' 'Malisha had SO much potential, what a waste, gutted for her!' 'Malisha getting an off-screen dumping is savage;' 'I hope they bring Malisha back for Casa Amor.' Fans have expressed how they're not impressed with the decision to send in islanders who aren't from the UK, considering the programme now has its own US version as well as one based in Australia. During last night's episode even voiceover host Ian Stirling joked: 'So an American from Vegas flew to Mallorca to meet a Brit living in Miami who came on a British TV show looking for romance.' Viewers have raged: 'Why are they bringing more Americans onto UK Love Island? '; 'Why are these Americans coming on uk love island like, love island USA is right there. We do NOT want Americans on Love Island UK,'; 'I don't like the addition of an American to UK Love Island. Bringing them on UK love island just doesn't make sense to me #LoveIsland.' When asked if she move abroad for love Toni replied: 'I've lived in three different states and I'm still single. It's time to try something new. I have some British friends and they're pretty charming. 'I think all Americans love a good accent. British men are just more polite, with better manners.' When asked if he'd be willing to embark on a long-distance relationship, Harrison told bosses: 'I've done long distance before so it's not really an issue for me. 'I don't know if or when I'm going back to America. But that's not an issue. If you like a person you'll make it work. 'I do really like American girls. Their personality is slightly different, in general they're more confident and go for what they want. But I like a challenge, I like a bit of the chase.' ITV confirmed to the Mail that Toni and Harrison's arrivals were the first of even more 'twists' in the series.

Dumped Love Island star Blu Chegini addresses his shock axing from the villa and reveals which couple REALLY have a chance together
Blu Chegini has broken his silence on his shock axing from the Love Island villain dramatic scenes on Friday night. Just days into the 12th series, fans of the ITV dating show have seen two islanders sent packing in brutal twists. Sophie Lee was the first person to be dumped from the island earlier this week after Shakira Khan stole her partner Harry Cooksley, leaving her single. After the arrival of new bombshells Shea Mannings and Remell Mullins, the girls then had to choose who they wanted to recouple with on Thursday night. Newbie Shea and Blu Chegini were left single and a shock text revealed that they would have to pick which of them would go home in a show first. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Unable to reach a decision, they asked for their fellow islanders help in deciding their fate, with them choosing Blu to leave. The 26-year-old has now broken his silence on his shock dumping, admitting he is 'gutted' over his premature exit. He said: 'I felt like I had a stronger bond with everyone in there, obviously I'd been there a bit longer. 'I was constantly trying to make a connection and exploring everyone. I was making moves as quickly as I could, as opposed to Shea who was a bit more laid back. 'Everyone had their own thoughts. But listen, someone's got to go at the end of the day. The way it went was better than I thought it would have gone; I had some nice things said about me and that meant a lot to me.' He added: 'I don't think I could have done any more than I did. I wanted to go there and find a spark, and as much as I tried to see if I could get a connection or have that sort of flirty banter, I couldn't really find it.' While he failed to find love, Blu has said Dejon Noel-Williams and Megan Forte Clarke have a spark. He said: 'Meg and Dejon have formed a connection straight away. Everyone wants to go in there and find that connection straight away. 'They've formed a bond that is nice to see and I think they can go far.' Meanwhile, three new bombshells also rocked the villa on Friday night as they crashed boys' night, with the girls able to watch their antics on TV in a shocking twist. As day dawned in the villa, Harry got a text, saying: 'Boys, clear your schedules and get ready to leave the villa! #brotime #beersandbants.' The lads were ecstatic, excited for the boys' night ahead - but the evening was not without fun for the girls either. Walking into the garden, they were stunned to see a massive screen, allowing them to hear exactly what their partners were saying about them.

Love Island's first dumped boy revealed after savage twist rocked the villa
THE LOVE Island villa said goodbye to Blu Chegini as tonight's savage twist rocked the villa. The Sun revealed earlier today that the boys got into a heated row as they battled it out to stay. 3 3 3 Last night the both insisted they weren't leaving, as Blu confidently said: "I ain't f****** leaving," and Shea echoed: "I ain't either." And tonight's episode kicked off in explosive fashion as the two boys stated their reasons for wanting to stay. Blu said he wanted the chance to get to form a connection with someone, but Shea said he had already had his chance. Blu hit back and said he didn't feel that Shea had anyone who he'd be romantically interested in. But Shea fired back and confessed he still wants to get to know Shakira, but she insisted she only has eyes for Ben. They both failed to budge and could not reach a decision, meaning the power was handed over to their fellow Islanders. Each couple made their choice and in the end it was Blu who was given the boot, with the general consensus being he'd had enough time but Shea hasn't. Blu was clearly devastated by the news. He then packed his bags and said his goodbye to the Islanders, before leaving through the front door. Furious Love Island fans slam cliffhanger as HUGE twist revealed in shock dumping Last night, the girls stood up to make their decision one by one, until only Shea and Blu remained. Dejon then received a text which read: "Blue and Shea, you are now single. "Between you both you should now decided who should stay and who should go." The episode then ended with the two single boys standing in front of their fellow Islanders at the fire pit. The Sun revealed today that Blu and Shea got into a rather tense war of words in the most savage dumping twist ever. A villa source tells The Sun: 'Things get very heated between Blu and Shea after the savage twist that they have to decide between them who will go. 'Viewers will see it play out in tonight's episode but it's really tense. 'Neither of them wants to back down and while it doesn't get physical, they get into a real war of words and some of the things they said to each other were brutal. 'Neither boy wanted to leave and it's pretty explosive telly. 'Emotions were very high as they have both spent months trying to land their spot on the show, so neither one was going to back down easily.' Last night's night's instalment was perhaps the most chaotic of the week, with fans left convinced two Islanders did the deed. Viewers reckon Harry and Helena had sex after just three days in the villa. Love Island 2025 full lineup Harry Cooksley: A 30-year-old footballer with charm to spare.
