American businesses whether small, medium, or large, would benefit from USMCA. The sooner this agreement is passed, the better. https://t.co/kK9sI5xww2 #USMCAnow

Read this month’s #5MinsforBiz to learn about the launch of new Incoterms® rules and what these changes mean for #Cdnbiz involved in international trade! https://t.co/GYOHCj0JRr #Incoterms2020
🇺🇸 tariffs on imports of 🇨🇦 lumber has caused mill closures, layoffs and depressed prices. North American economies are so deeply intertwined that it is in all of our best interest to #KeepTradeFree.
Imposing unfair and discriminatory #tariffs costs consumers, invites retaliation and undermines trust between countries. It's time for the US administration to consider the consequences of its actions before more damage is done. https://t.co/6cRw16TYgB
Congrats to Dominic Barton on his appointment as Canada’s Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China. The appointment signals a modest but crucial step in enabling Canada to better advance its interest with China at this critical juncture. https://t.co/Osmsr730C9
Today, #CETA was approved by the National Assembly of France. It is encouraging to see one of the EU's biggest economies supporting this trade deal. 🇨🇦🇫🇷 #KeepTradeFree
Although, there is still work to be done. We look forward to seeing an established path ahead for U.S. ratification of #USMCA which should expedite Canada’s own implementation process. #KeepTradeFree
Today's announcement that the U.S. is removing the unjust steel and aluminum tariffs is a step towards a trade relationship that truly does #KeepTradeFree. We look forward to Canada in turn removing their retaliatory measures, which were once necessary. https://t.co/xQpsFLZtT5

US Senate Finance Committee Chair Chuck Grassley on the illegal steel and aluminum tariffs: “If these tariffs aren’t lifted, USMCA is dead. There is no appetite in Congress to debate USMCA with these tariffs in place.” https://t.co/73HmhFNLkN

Canadian steel being excluded from 232 tariffs is only 2% of 2017 export levels and $5 for aluminium. These levels are far lower than numerous other countries. We will continue to work with @CanEmbUSA@cafreeland and our @KeepTradeFree Coalition to lift these absurd tariffs.
The @mercatus published its updated study on @CommerceGov exclusions from U.S. 232 tariffs. The data shows these tariffs remain as unjustified as ever. #KeepTradeFree https://t.co/0JiMNDg8oX
As usual, @DawsonCanada makes a lot of sense. And, in the meantime, we need to stand firm against the illegal steel and aluminum tariffs that are killing jobs and growth on both sides of the border. #CUSMA#USMCA
