Trudeau not willing to lift Canada's retaliatory tariffs if Trump leaves some tariffs on Canada
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not willing to lift Canada맥스카지노s retaliatory tariffs if former President Donald Trump leaves any tariffs on Canada, a senior government official told The Associated Press
The official confirmed the stance on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
Trump imposed tariffs against Washington맥스카지노s three biggest trading partners, drawing immediate retaliation from Mexico, Canada and China and sending financial markets into a tailspin. President Donald Trump put 25% taxes, or tariffs, on Mexican and Canadian imports, though he limited the levy to 10% on Canadian energy.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said there might be carveouts coming 맥스카지노 a softening of the U.S. position after Tuesday맥스카지노s tax hike hurt the stock market, worried consumers and started a trade war.
In a Wednesday interview with Bloomberg Television, Lutnick said that Trump would update his tariff plans with an afternoon announcement, possibly sparing sectors such as autos from the import taxes.
맥스카지노There are going to be tariffs, let맥스카지노s be clear,맥스카지노 Lutnick said. 맥스카지노But what he맥스카지노s thinking about is which sections of the market that can maybe -- maybe -- he맥스카지노ll consider giving them relief until we get to, of course, April 2.맥스카지노
On April 2, Trump plans to announce what he calls 맥스카지노reciprocal맥스카지노 tariffs to match the tariffs, taxes and subsidies provided by other countries. That could dramatically increase the tariff rates charged globally while maintaining the risk of a broader tariff.
Lutnick said he would talk on Wednesday morning with Trump about the possible options regarding Canada and Mexico, saying that both countries are working to address the U.S. president맥스카지노s concerns about drug trafficking. Lutnick said to expect Trump to announce his decision Wednesday afternoon.
The Canadian government indicated that nothing less than the removal of the tariffs was acceptable.
