US tariffs will end on Canada's steel and aluminium paving the way on ratifying a new North American trade pact.
President Donald Trump said US tariffs imposed on Canada and Mexico would end very soon.
The governments “agree to eliminate… all tariffs the United States imposed under Section 232 on imports of steel and aluminium products from Canada and all tariffs Canada imposed in retaliation for the Section 232 action,” the statement said. Canada and Mexico were initially exempted from the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump using a national security argument as part of his hardline trade tactics.
Even after the governments agreed to a revised free trade deal – the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement – the tariffs remained in place, but officials in Ottawa and Mexico City said they would not sign unless Washington removed the metals duties.
