US trade tariffs ‘illegal’: G7 host Canada
LA MALBAIE, Canada, June 9, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – The US imposition of tariffs
on exports of steel and aluminum from its allies is illegal and will be met
with retaliation, Canada’s government said Friday as it hosted a summit of G7
leaders, including Donald Trump.
“Canada will not change its mind when it comes to the illegal and
absolutely unjustified application of tariffs on steel and aluminum, not only
coming from Canada, but on the steel and aluminum sold by all the G7 allies
who are assembled here,” Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said at a press
conference on the first day of the summit.
