Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley is repeating his call for the White House to lift the steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
Grassley says Canadian and Mexican officials have indicated to him that they’re unlikely to bring the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement (USMCA) up for a vote until those tariffs are removed.
“It’s very, very important that the White House get on board of doing away with these tariffs so we can get this thing not only before the Congress of the United States, but before the Mexican Senate and before the House of Commons in Canada.”
Grassley says the Canadians want to begin the USMCA approval process by March 1st so it doesn’t drag into their fall election season.
