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 Canada바카라 게임 웹사이트s 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 Washington바카라 게임 웹사이트s 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 바카라 게임 웹사이트 a softening of the U.S. position after Tuesday바카라 게임 웹사이트s 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.
바카라 게임 웹사이트There are going to be tariffs, let바카라 게임 웹사이트s be clear,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Lutnick said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트But what he바카라 게임 웹사이트s thinking about is which sections of the market that can maybe -- maybe -- he바카라 게임 웹사이트ll consider giving them relief until we get to, of course, April 2.바카라 게임 웹사이트
On April 2, Trump plans to announce what he calls 바카라 게임 웹사이트reciprocal바카라 게임 웹사이트 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. president바카라 게임 웹사이트s 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.
바카라 게임 웹사이트We바카라 게임 웹사이트re not interested in meeting in the middle and having some reduced tariff. Canada wants the tariffs removed,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
