The U.S. has reached a deal to lift steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada and Mexico, removing a major barrier to congressional approval of President Trump’s revised trade deal with the countries.
The U.S. will be “selling our product into those countries without the imposition of tariffs or major tariffs — big difference,” Mr. Trump announced in a speech Friday afternoon before the National Association of Realtors.
The president said the U.S. has a great relationship with Canada but that it put up a “barrier” by imposing tariffs on American farmers.
“That deal is going to be a fantastic deal for our country,” he said.
