Some industries may be spared from next round of U.S. tariffs despite Trump threats

It appears some key industries facing the threat of new U.S. tariffs may be spared from President Donald Trump’s next shot in his global trade war — at least for the moment.

Speaking on background, a White House official told CBC News that despite Trump’s repeated threats about sector-specific tariffs, they may not actually happen next month.

“Obviously POTUS has talked a lot about sectoral tariffs, but we may have sectoral tariffs on April 2 and we may not,” the official said in an email.
