PNWER Applauds Removal of Steel and Aluminum Tariffs and Associated Retaliatory Tariffs
|
We applaud the announcement today regarding the agreement reached to lift steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada and Mexico and associated retaliatory tariffs. PNWER has focused on this issue as a top priority for the region for the past year. This important step helps clear a major hurdle in all three countries in finalizing the US-Canada-Mexico Agreement (USMCA).
Oregon Senator Arnie Roblan, Past President of PNWER said, “Here in the Pacific Northwest, we are stronger by working closely together, and our relationships are intact because of the ongoing partnerships in every major sector of our economy, and in state, provincial, territorial, local, and tribal governments, this announcement helps us to maintain these important relationships. “I applaud the announcement today. When markets are open and goods are transported freely across borders, the result is economic growth, new businesses and more and better job opportunities for individuals,” said PNWER President Larry Doke, MLA, Saskatchewan.
