U.S. Seeks to Resolve Other Trade Disputes Amid China Impasse

With U.S.-China trade talks at an impasse, President Trump moved Friday to tackle festering trade disputes with U.S. allies and North American neighbors.
The White House released an order putting off a decision on proposed tariffs on imported cars and auto parts for about six months, giving the administration room to negotiate possible trade deals with the European Union and Japan.
Hours later, Mr. Trump said the U.S. had reached a deal to exempt Canada and Mexico from tariffs on steel and aluminum that were imposed last year. The action is expected to help clear one of the stumbling blocks for ratification of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement that was negotiated by the Trump administration last year.
