Canada PM speaks to Trump about tariffs, sources see little progress

 

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke to U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday about American tariffs on steel and aluminum, Trudeau's office said on Friday, but well-placed sources said there was little sign of progress.

 

Ottawa strongly objects to the tariffs, which Trump imposed last year citing security concerns, and has pressed many times for them to be removed.

 

"The Prime Minister raised the issue of steel and aluminum tariffs and expressed the need for the removal of tariffs," a statement from Trudeau's office said.

 

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said on Thursday he was working hard to persuade Trump that the U.S. steel industry could be adequately protected by tariff rate quotas, rather than plain tariffs, on imports from Canada and Mexico.

 

Canadian industry officials say they are opposed to the idea of quotas.

 

Canadian Transport Minister Marc Garneau said on Sunday that Canada might find it hard to ratify a new continental free trade pact unless the measures were lifted beforehand. The U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement was concluded last October.

 

Yet despite the pressure campaign, two Canadian industry sources with close ties to Washington said they had heard nothing to suggest a breakthrough was near.

 

"There are no talks planned on this right now," said one of the sources, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

it's priced in FIAT so don't pay attention to it's price. Hard to do but you have if you own it. Began buying in early 200's and never once did I pay attention to the COMEX price except to add.

Patience will be rewarded.
