Canada drops retaliation plans after U.S. ends aluminum levies

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Canada abandoned plans to retaliate against U.S. tariffs on aluminum after the Trump administration announced it would remove the levies, International Trade Minister Mary Ng said Tuesday.

“Canada welcomes this decision," she said. "It is a testament to the Team Canada approach as we all worked relentlessly” to ensure the 10 percent duties were removed.

But Ng warned that Ottawa would retaliate if Washington decides to reimpose the tariffs. "Let me be clear — Canada has not conceded anything," she said. “Our motto has always been we will not escalate, but we will not back down.”
