Canada foreign minister Freeland

  • Says NAFTA ministers talked to Lighthizer about steel tariffs on Monday
  • Says has spoken to EU, South Korea about possible US steel tariffs
  • Says talked to Ross last week about possible steel tariffs
  • Possible US steel tariffs are quite separate from the NAFTA talks
  • Still significant differences between partners over the more difficult NAFTA chapters

Dunno about anyone else, but this NAFTA and tarfiff thing looks to me like it'll get much worse (for global trade) before it gets any better
