Canada aims to ratify trade deal after lifting of tariffs 0 SHARES Share it! On Friday, US President Donald Trump announced the lifting of tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada and Mexico. Freeland acknowledged that despite the lifting of the aluminum and steel tariffs, it would be “naive” to think US protectionism is no longer a threat. Meanwhile, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Saturday the US move to withdraw tariffs was a “triumph” for Mexico. He stressed that his administration is working toward “free trade, not a trade war.”
