Chinanews, August 7th. According to foreign media reports, US President Trump said on the 6th local time that he had signed an announcement to resume the 10% tariff on some aluminum products imported from Canada.

  Trump said in a speech at the Whirlpool plant in Ohio on the 6th that he had signed a statement earlier in the day announcing that the United States would resume imposing a 10% tariff on some aluminum products imported from Canada. "Canada uses us as usual. I signed it and added (tariffs). Because Canada is phasing out aluminum business. This is very unfair."

  He added: "A few months ago, my government agreed to abolish these tariffs in exchange for the Canadian government's promise that its aluminum industry will not export large amounts of products to our country, and they are doing so and stifling the American aluminum industry. Employment opportunities."

  The Trump administration previously agreed to eliminate tariffs in May 2019, paving the way for the US-Canada-Mexico Trade Agreement. After negotiation and approval, the agreement will come into effect on July 1, 2020. The agreement fulfilled Trump's campaign promise to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement.

  According to reports, Trump was reconsidering tariffs before the July agreement took effect, but was discouraged due to the timing.
