OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Saturday she had made clear in a meeting with U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the Munich Security Conference the importance of the U.S. lifting tariffs on steel and aluminium imports from Canada.
Freeland said that while Canada is now focussed on its domestic ratification process for the U.S.-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade deal, it remains strongly opposed to the Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminium.
"The Canada position is now that we have concluded (USMCA) that is all the more reason why the tariffs must be lifted," she said on a conference call with reporters.
