U.S. President Donald Trump formally signed a proclamation exempting Canadian aluminum exports from punitive Section 232 tariffs.

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting with steel and aluminum executives in the Cabinet Room of the White House, March 1, 2018, in Washington. WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Donald Trump has officially let Canadian aluminum producers out of the national-security doghouse -- for now.

But the proclamation reserves the right to reimpose the 10 per cent levies, ostensibly on national security grounds, if aluminum exports spike again before the end of the year. The tariffs, first imposed in 2018, were reinstated briefly in August in response to what the U.S. trade representative's office said was an unauthorized increase in Canadian exports.

"I have determined that imports of aluminum from Canada will no longer threaten to impair the national security," the proclamation reads.

This idiot is too dumb to realize his ridiculous duties on Canadian goods is costing American people more and doesn’t affect Canada. He puts duties in place then has to remove them. Looking forward to his serious defeat.

The CLOWN did not have a leg to stand on!

Let's see if the liberals can NOT screw it up this time. Have my doubts.

Trump: time in office - done Time destroying America - done Time making Americans look ridiculous - done. Time for his marriage - done Time his family stopped sucking the teats of America - done Time as a free man -done BidenHarris2020

industry would not order it if they did not have an economic purpose for it .... restricting imports handcuffs industry or increases costs to manufacturing - curious

Remember, the vast majority of aluminum is produced in Quebec, so that’s the reason Liberals are fighting this. If it was in Alberta Trudeau zzz, Greening, zzz, Paris Accord, zzz.

Trump2020 Little bit of good news for Canadians

After the election Trudeau better repair relations fast

Beer can shortage boys?

PMJT always plays the out going potus like a fiddle

Well Canadians are not going to exempt Trump.

It was always a pretext for money grab. Nothing else. The Americans don’t agree openly but Canada is not a threat to USA but an ally. The futures of the two countries are intertwined

What is the USMCA trade deal for?

Lock him up

No kidding. It blew up in his face a few weeks ago when he tried it.

As a Canadian and american I feel we can live with out trump rule... but good news we have the best whiskey to numb the pain if trump is re elected

There is no quota! Gutless wonder chickened out a day before Canada was going to target his red states with tariffs! As if his economy isn’t F’d enough! The tariffs are taxes that would only hurt his own people by raising prices on American cars, canned goods, washers & dryers!

A move to win some votes. He will revert after the election if he wins. Yeah, Americans are like that, he may win even after all this.

Trumps' redneck beer drinking supporters were complaining about the shortage and cost of beer cans. Trump's tariffs always backfire because he has no idea what he is doing.

Because it was hurting American manufacturers who actually have to pay the tariffs.

Dumb idea in the first place!!!

FuckTrump PenceForPrison

Canadians will stand on guard for now.

Real tough guy 🙄

realDonaldTrump Mr. President, Thank you for Canadian aluminum; you still have time to order DHS_Wolf CBPMarkMorgan to investigate the case of mistreatment and humiliation of Canadian by DFOBuffalo agents at US border

Joe Biden is corrupt. Tucker Carlson is spilling the beans right now but not a peep from MSM.

Is Don losing his hair?

Butt he may change his 'mind' again tomorrow!

Oh thanks for doing that thing you were supposed to do and then didn’t do and now you’re doing but might change 🤷‍♂️

All Propaganda Bullshit Trump: time in office - done Time destroying America - done Time making Americans look ridiculous - done. Time for his marriage - done Time his family stopped sucking the teats of America - done Time as a free man -done BidenHarris2020

He's out the door anyway. Things will improve under Biden.

Does he just spew out whatever is in his mind at the moment without thinking of the consequences. He thinks everyone is going to believe anything he says. All narcissists think this way.

We knew he would cave in. He never thinks beyond one minute. Keep spewing your idiocy tRUMP

Oh we are so grateful for his incredible generosity, our economy is sure to round the curve soon !

That must have ruined his day.

Still not going to vote for you 😂

He is such a child.

Bet he wasn't happy about that

Until he changes his mind again in 4....3...2..1

Finally realized that his tariffs were causing a shortage of aluminum cans for the beer industry and his redneck supporters were getting upset.

Yes Canada was pretty scared there for a while with those tariffs and passing along those costs to US companies! Thanks Teflon Don!!

Oh thank goodness. Canada has been lying awake at night worrying about this. Finally, life in Canada can go on! 😂

border will still remain closed Clown

Mission accomplished. He already used the tariff to force us to sign the CAUSM.

Trump and his familiar falsehoods in campaign's final stretch: AP fact checkAP fact check: U.S. President Donald Trump says Mexico is paying for the wall (it isn't), health care choice for veterans came from him (it didn't) and his tax cut stands as the biggest in American history (nowhere close). These are among his touchstones -- the falsehoods that span his presidency -- and he's giving them another go in the final days of his relentless campaigning. AP.... leftist hacks. Lol cool, this is actually good to know... Now do Biden... Because that too would be worth knowing. There is generally nothing factual about 'fact-checking'.

Biden to campaign in Georgia, Trump targets Midwest with U.S. election one week awayJoe Biden will embark on an aggressive schedule in the coming days as his team looks to stretch the electoral map and open up more paths to 270 electoral college votes Cant wait to see wht Biden says, will it be that hes running for Senate like he stated last week or hes running against Bush its entertaining to say the least not sure how he will run the country when he clearly is suffering from some form of dementia Tragedy of times. A leader who may be forgetful or a leader who stands out front telling blatant lies to excite emotions and appears to do a lot, mostly talking, but accomplished nothing other than a lot of anger. Perhaps better to have someone who may forget but is thoughtful.
