Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: UPDATED STORY: The U.S. has slapped Canada with import duties of 25% on steel and 10% on aluminum 
  
 The Canadian government has drawn up its list of targets if U.S. President Donald Trump refuses to exempt Canada from steel and aluminum tariffs. 
  
 All that is left is for the government to pick which one they want to hit.

 Two government sources laid out to Global News how officials plan to respond to any imposition of steep new tariffs by the American president this Friday, when the current exemption extension granted last month is set to run out unless a new one can be secured. 
  
 Under those tariffs, foreign imports of steel and aluminum face levies of 25 per cent and 10 per cent, respectively. 
  
 Canada first secured a temporary month-long exemption when the tariffs were announced in March, then again in April.

 Officials have discussed a range of options in preparation for several possible outcomes and will likely not slap immediate retaliatory measures into place. 
  
 Instead, the government will make a public announcement of its intention to act shortly after any decision not to continue the exemptions and then head into a series of meetings with relevant ministers and premiers to decide which of their prepared options to implement.

 The reason no specific plan is expected to slap into place is that officials are still trying to figure out what will happen next. 
  
 Trump could announce a full implementation of the sanctions, another temporary exemption or a permanent exemption. 
  
 And despite there being just slightly more than 24 hours until the deadline, it is not clear which option he will pick. 
  
 So, Canadian officials want to keep theirs open. 
  
 WATCH BELOW: Should Canada demand a permanent exemption from steel tariffs? 
  
 The threat of tariffs comes as the pressure to reach a deal on NAFTA intensifies. 
  
 Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland was scheduled to be in Washington on both Tuesday and Wednesday for those negotiations. 
  
 However, she cut her trip short and returned to Ottawa on Wednesday morning. 
  
 Trump is also now threatening to impose steep new tariffs on imported cars in an attempt to get Canada and Mexico to cave to his demands, and has directed U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to launch an investigation into whether auto imports pose a national security threat. 
  
 He has hinted Canada and Mexico could secure more permanent exemptions from his tariffs by capitulating to his demands on NAFTA. 
  
 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, on the other hand, pushed back at those threats as “negotiating tactics” on Tuesday and said Canada would rather have no deal than a bad deal. ||||| French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, left, welcomes US Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross prior to their meeting at French Economy Ministry in Paris, France, Thursday, May 31, 2018.

 The Trump administration is announcing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from the European Union, Canada and Mexico. The move is sure to raise worries of a trade war with American allies. 
  
 Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross says there will be a 25 percent tariff on imported steel and a 10 percent tariff on imported aluminum. 
  
 President Donald Trump announced the tariffs in March but the U.S. granted exemptions to the E.U., Canada, Mexico and other U.S. allies. 
  
 Ross says talks with Canada and Mexico over the North American Free Trade Agreement are "taking longer than we had hoped." He says negotiations with Europe have "made some progress" but not enough to merit an exemption.

The delay is over. The Trump administration is announcing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from the European Union, Canada, and Mexico, in a move sure to raise worries of a trade war. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross says there will be a 25% tariff on imported steel and a 10% tariff on imported aluminum, reports the AP. President Trump announced the tariffs in March but the US granted exemptions to the EU, Canada, Mexico, and other US allies. Ross says talks with Canada and Mexico over the North American Free Trade Agreement are "taking longer than we had hoped." He says negotiations with Europe have "made some progress" but not enough to merit an exemption.

German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said "protectionism and isolation against free trade mustn't regain the upper hand," while French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire called the tariffs "unjustified, unjustifiable, and dangerous," noting a trade war would hurt growth everywhere. Also in advance of Ross' announcement, Global News reported Canada had drawn up a list of possible US targets to hit in response.
