Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said as a result of the deal, Canada will lift all its retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products. He said the U.S. rescinded its tariffs due to “the strongest retaliation in the world” by Canada.

“We stood firm and would not back down until we achieved today’s outcome,” Mr. Trudeau said.


Good news for Americans--the Trump punishment of Americans using Canadian steel is soon to end.

Trump and Trudeau can declare themselves winners as politicians always want to do.

Taking it up the arse is a strange way to declare a victory.

Does not compute.

When had Canada been able to be the strongest in the world at anything?

Does anyone believe that Trudeau's crack team of negotiators somehow worked the American team down to, "i sorry, we r good friendz, no hurt meant"

Huh totally forgot this was put in place. Give it to a Canadian leader to boast about a win that 99% of the American people had forgotten about or nvr knew about.

I don't doubt Trudeau's ability to impose tariffs on his citizens that purchase US goods is at least on par with Trumps punishments of American importers.

Is he imposing these tariffs at the border? All of the Canucks I know live within an hours drive of the U.S. border and if they want something from here, they come and get it.

New NAFTA has never been ratified. You like most Trumpkins just took Trump's word months ago that he had a deal.

Now he has a deal and the tariffs that Ross and Navarro advocated for have proven too big a burden for Trump to get through Congress. With the deal on the line Trump has agreed to roll the tariffs back to get Congress to ratify it.

Kudos to Trump for recognizing the pain of the protectionist tariffs.

This is to open the door to the broader trade agreement, replacing the disaster called NAFTA. The tariffs were never meant to be long term. Pretty typical of you to post this. You’re a sick man
