U.S. President Donald Trump’s point man on trade talks says Canada needs to accept that tariffs will be a part of any deal with the administration, including renewal of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA).
In interviews with two CBC News journalists on Capitol Hill just after Trump’s state of the union address Tuesday night, U.S. trade representative Jamieson Greer suggested Canada can’t expect to land a trade agreement that is free of tariffs.
“When we go to other countries, and we make a deal with them … they agree that we can have a tariff on them,” Greer told CBC News correspondent Katie Simpson.
