Canada’s Algoma Steel has resumed shipments to the US, effective Friday, March 14.

A spokesperson for the Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario-based steelmaker confirmed the news Friday morning. As previously reported, Algoma had paused shipments to the US earlier in the week.

The resumption of shipments follows a meeting held between Canadian and US officials in Washington, D.C., on Thursday.

The spokesperson provided no further information on the substance of that meeting.

In its earnings results on Wednesday, Algoma said that US tariffs would hurt its “financial position,” though no estimate was given by how much.
