\u2014 President Donald Trump on Monday approved another month of relief from steel and
\naluminum taris
\nfor key allies, including the European Union, Canada and Mexico.
\nFacing a midnight deadline to prolong the exemptions or allow imports of steel and aluminum from those countries
\nto be taxed at 25% and 10%, respectively, Trump pushed the deadline another month — giving the US and its allies
\nmore time to negotiate a final agreement.
\nThe White House said in a statement that it is finalizing an agreement with Argentina, Australia and Brazil
\nconcerning the taris
\nand is “extending negotiations” with Canada, Mexico and the European Union.
\nAdministration ocials
\nhave previously suggested the taris
\ncould be replaced with quotas for countries that work
\nout an agreement with the US.
\n“In all of these negotiations, the Administration is focused on quotas that will restrain imports, prevent
\ntransshipment, and protect the national security,” the White House said in a statement.
\nThe White House said it has also “reached a final agreement with South Korea on steel imports,” which were part
\nof the administration’s renegotiation of the US-South Korea free trade agreement.<\/p>\n
The decision came days after French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel
\npersonally lobbied Trump in Washington last week not to bring the steel and aluminum taris
\ndown on the
\nEuropean Union.
\nThe prolonged exemptions for Canada and Mexico come as the Trump administration is working to renegotiate
\nNAFTA, the free trade agreement among the three countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
