Why we checked itSpecific allegation that China is routing steel through Canadian companies to evade U.S. tariffs — a verifiable trade enforcement claim
What we foundThe claim that China has been systematically using Canadian companies to get steel into the US while evading tariffs is disputed: there is a real DOJ settlement involving two Canadian firms and U.S. government accusations, but independent trade-flow analysis finds little to no evidence of steel transshipment via Canada, and Canada's government formally denies it.
