Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland is bound for Washington to meet with Trump trade czar Robert Lighthizer in a renewed push to get punitive steel and aluminum tariffs lifted.

FILE -- Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland looks on as United States Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer delivers his statement to the media during the sixth round of negotiations for a new North American Free Trade Agreement in Montreal, Monday, January 29, 2018. Last Updated Tuesday, May 14, 2019 4:34PM EDT

Freeland reiterated that since Canada, the U.S. and Mexico have successfully renegotiated a new continental trade pact -- one that still needs to be ratified in all three countries -- it is time for the tariffs to be lifted "for the competitiveness of our entire continent." "We're at a point where we need to do everything we can and talk to everyone we can about why we see these as unjust," said the source.

Grassley suggested to reporters in a conference call that an end to the tariffs might be close. Last month, Grassley tweeted that Trump must remove the tariffs before the new North American trade deal can be ratified.

May Trump wants to settle this now so that he can show what his great negotiating tactics can achieve and claim that Canada and Mexico caved in to his superiority.

Canada was warned about China dumping steel into the US via Canada a year before the tariffs began. As usual, the deft Trudeau govt did squat about it. And they still haven’t. So, stop grandstanding for a fight you don’t want to win.
