WASHINGTON \u2014 U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s trade czar says there will be tariffs in place on Mexico and Canada even though the countries are part of a continental trade pact.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations Tuesday, United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer was asked about the state of negotiations with Ottawa around the Canada-U.S.-Mexico-Agreement on trade, known as CUSMA.<\/p>\n
The Trump administration has begun official negotiations with Mexico but they haven\u2019t started with Canada.<\/p>\n
Greer says most nations have begrudgingly accepted some level of tariffs but Canada\u2019s approach has been different.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Greer says Canada is in a \u201cdifferent spot\u201d when it comes to accepting Trump\u2019s tariffs and it\u2019s \u201chard to see where that ends.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greer says some areas of negotiations with Canada will be challenging \u2014 pointing to the automobile sector \u2014 but others will not be as hard.<\/p>\n
