Canada says customs tariffs are expensive for America and promise to respond
The Canadian Trade Minister Mary NG said that customs duties imposed by President Donald Trump make goods more expensive for the Americans, and confirm her promise to respond as the country’s largest commercial partner moved forward to set up customs duties on imports. “We were very clear customs rates for America. These are illogical,” NG continued, adding that Canada is still working with the US administration on this issue. She added that Canada does not want to incur a commercial dispute with the United States. And “We do not want to be the initiator, but as punishment definitions are imposed on Canadians and Canada, we will respond.” Trump has threatened to draw up a set of customs tariffs that could hinder trade with the northern neighbor of America and negatively affect the economy of Canada. Trump -commercial fees, in addition to customs tariffs, with 25% on Canada, suspended, Trump announced that it is imposing mutual fees on commercial partners, and this week he said he intended to set custom duties with 25% on cars, pharmaceuticals and slides. The customs tariffs imposed on a specific country and not others, who signed Trump under an executive order on the first February, were postponed 30 days after Canada announced the establishment of a working group to combat Fentanel and appoint an important official to appoint these efforts. Trump’s accusations of Canada complained about the drug that entered the United States across the border with Canada, as well as unauthorized immigrants. Nug said less than 1% of Fentanel in the United States enter the border with Canada. The Minister of International Trade, who visits Asia this week to hold meetings with partners, including Australia, emphasizes the importance of the relationship with the United States and note that officials are making “progress” on the outstanding issues between the two neighboring countries. At the same time, NG indicated the importance of other commercial partners in the world and their general need for stability. “Defense of an international system based on rules, especially in the field of trade, is something” Canada and its partners have to “work hard to defend it.”
