U.S. won't exclude Canada from steel, aluminum tariffs, White House says

[shockedcanadian]

I guess the exploiters don't get a free pass again this time. You have a president with a backbone.

While no countries will be excluded, Navarro said some industries could get exemptions. This is of keen interest to Canada's auto sector, which is a leading supplier of steel and aluminum to the U.S.: "There'll be an exemption procedure for particular cases where we need to have exemptions so business can move forward," Navarro said on CNN.

Ross held out the slim prospect of some changes: "We shall see," he told NBC's Meet The Press.

"(Trump) has made a decision at this point," he said of the 25 per cent tariff for steel and 10 per cent tariff for aluminum. "If he for some reason should change his mind, then it'll change. I have no reason to believe he's going to change his mind."

These numbers could very well be a starting point to get Canada and other countries to settle for a 20% and an 8% tariff.
Standard sales tactics.

No, I think this is the beginning of the end of NAFTA. Canada overplayed it's hand and operated behind the back of the duly elected U.S government, including "reaching out" to politicians, law makers and joining forces with China to attack the U.S through the WTO.

Worse, Canada didn't even hide their globalist efforts when they outright told the U.S that they refused to accept that American taxpayer procurement should be for the U.S and Canada doesn't think a 1:1 ratio is fair. We want and need you to continue to sponsor our socialism as we work hard to export it into you country.

Wake up America!

Will the moron really go for it?
U.S. BUSINESSES SEND A 232 WARNING: A wide-ranging group of manufacturing, agriculture and food industry organizations sent a warning to Trump on Tuesday: hitting imports of steel and aluminum with tariffs will cause a cascade of higher prices, lower supply and retaliation by other countries.

“We understand your goal of supporting these two important sectors of our domestic manufacturing base,” according to the letter signed by the National Foreign Trade Council, American Petroleum Institute, American Soybean Association and 22 other groups. “However, it is our belief that global tariffs and quotas on imports of these products will injure the purchasers of these products and will lead to the loss of thousands of American jobs.”

REPORT: U.S. AG PAYS THE PRICE IN TRADE DISPUTES: If the Trump administration decides to levy tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum — a move that would come on top of tariffs that have already been slapped on imports of washing machines and solar panels — the U.S. agricultural sector is almost certain to be caught in retaliatory cross fire. That’s the crux of a new report from the group Farmers for Free Trade, which examines historical context to show that “agriculture tends to have the biggest target on its back, even in trade disputes that are unconnected to agricultural products.”

The report runs through a series of disputes with trading partners dating as far back as 1995 where the other countries retaliated against U.S. tariffs by targeting U.S. agriculture. The Mexican trucking dispute, for example, that lasted from 1995 to 2001 led to 20 percent duties on dozens of U.S. ag products, from fresh produce to ketchup to wine and beer.

Oh, you are in trouble now. Our resident "ag experts" said that the Ag industry had nothing to worry about.

by the way...do you have a link to where you go this?

So you're telling me the other nations are going to be pissed if we even the playing field?
I have confidence that an equitable agreement can be reached that reflects the actual disparities in our current agreements.
Everyone has an interest in maintaining trade,we just wont be taken to the cleaners anymore.

Just as everyone said that lower taxes would hurt people, and regulation cuts would cause the destruction of the environment, and without the U.S in the Paris Accord the globe would melt, and TPP was needed for America to grow.

These fools say the same things but they NEVER have an answer. The fact is that all of these nations place tariffs against America, but they don't care, they want slave labor. Where is the concern for the mistreatment of CHinese workers? Or the lack of regulations in factories across the globe?

It's all a con. If they artificially raise prices, competition will come in and take marketshare, if they buy locally, they don't pay a tariff. What is wrong with that?

Would they rather America tell them "you import steel but we are hitting BUSINESSES in the U.S with a 35% tax? Someone has to alter the course, as America cannot sustain global exploitation. $500B trade Deficit each year, while Germany, China and other have $200B Surpluses.

Right, how does the U.S intend to keep paying for entitlements and a strong military to defend against China if they cannot find a surplus once in awhile?

Fires Make New Homes More Expensive

Amazing what massive wild fires bring about. Not just denuding the land and leaving it wide open for mudslides and other problems. Lumber supplies shrink when there are no trees to harvest.

That and tariffs from the Obama era continues by President Trump. Seems we're having a spat with out neighbors to the north.

To be sure, lumber is only part of the US-Canada trade tensions.

At least two more disputes are ongoing: Trump wants Canada to open its market to dairy products, and a spat has erupted over groundwood paper, which is used in the production of newspapers and magazines.

And after announcing Thursday that he will soon slap tariffs on steel and aluminum imports - eliciting a strongly worded response from Canada - it's doubtful these disagreements will be resolved any time soon.
