Americans learned Canadians would 'stay firm' in tariff spat: Trudeau
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau walks by an aluminum smelter during a visit to the Alouette aluminum plant in Sept-Iles Que. on May 21, 2019.
“I think one of the things that we saw very clearly, and the Americans learned, is that Canadians were going to stay firm,” Trudeau said at Aluminerie Alouette, in the town on the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.“We strategically put a significant number of American products and produce under tariffs and that had an impact on governors, on members of Congress, who continued to talk to the president and to members of the administration about lifting these tariffs.
Canada, the United States and Mexico signed the new trade treaty at the end of last year; it awaits ratification in each country’s national legislature.“With the full lift of the steel and aluminum tariffs, the last major barrier against ratification has been taken away — on both sides, because it was also a barrier to the American ratification process,” Trudeau said. ” is a good deal for Canadians, for workers, for businesses on both sides of the border.
