The 25% tariffs on steel imposed on Canada and Mexico by President Trump will continue, despite a new trade deal between the three countries, reports Global News.
The tariffs will remain “until such time we can do something … so our steel industry is protected,” Trump said at a press conference at the White House on Monday morning.
Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray said earlier Monday he had hoped a trade dispute with the Trump administration over steel could be resolved before a new trade deal is signed toward the end of November.
