Also on the show could Climate Change and the opposition to victory in australias federal elections. Welcome to business im Stephen Beard thanks for joining us us full of steel and aluminum tariffs on
canada and Mexico Effective Monday The Development has been hailed as a significant step towards finalizing a new north american trade deal. And the tariffs of course will be lifted as of monday as we said they were imposed last year as President Trump brought the tariff seem to force last year 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on alamy canada and mexico imposed 3 tariffs but thats now history before i begin i am pleased to announce that weve just reached an agreement with canada and mexico and will be selling our product into those countries without the imposition of tariffs or major tariffs. Trump didnt mention the usas tariffs imposed under National Security clothes
canada had called justification for the judys absurd and insulting. Canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau said the tariff said being a hurdle to sealing the new agreement. Obviously these continued tariffs on steel and aluminum and our countermeasures i represented significant barriers to moving forward with the new nafta agreement now that weve had a full lift on these tariffs we are going to work with e. M. I. United states on timing for ratification but were very optimistic were going to be able to move forward. While the tariffs help to many u. S. Steel and melamine you make has the canadian and mexican retaliatory tariffs hurt other sectors of the u. S. Economy such as Agriculture Trump said he hoped that congress would move quickly to approve the deal. And lets find out more from us court at the New York Stock Exchange yes these
tariffs been in place for about a year now what does the u. S. Gain from. Well i mean the basic idea was that big ben china was flooding the market for example with cheap stealed sometimes diverting those some chipman through other countries to avoid tariffs and the United States was hoping to protect the domestic steel an Element Industry Trick has only worked so far i mean 1st of all if you look at the stocks of the big u. S. Steel and aluminum producers of they have been quite depressed actually in the past 12 months and then also when you look at the u. S. Industry costs have increased the because of those some higher tariffs on steel and so probably what the u. S. Tried to achieve what washington tried to achieve did not really work out that well of course a lot of talk about a still glut in the coming years now yes stay with us because there was
a nother announcement today President Trump today confirming earlier rumors that hes postponing a decision over tariffs on overseas cars and car parts he now says hell wait up to 180. 00 days sorry for the outcome of trade talks with the European Union and japan before deciding whether to implement the additional levies. So yes if you can hear me some seemingly good news. And i believe yes is gone actually we just lost the connection with him well try and get that back up but we will of course move on in the meantime. The Transpacific Partnership was meant to build a stronghold against chinas growing influence in the key player the u. S. Pulled out and the remaining 11 decided to go ahead anyway now several months on ministers are meeting in chile to see exactly where they stand.

So. He has a strategic significance not just because of the tangible benefits hes bring to their respective countries to create the p. P. Places in that part is an important part of the puzzle for us to promote a more open Trading System and to resist that type of isolationism and
protectionism those sentiments were echoed by other ministers who looked at the deal for enabling Member States to increase exports and raise growth for costs in the 1st quarter of its validity all together it was a powerful display of multilateralism from the countries forced to wave goodbye to a Free Trade Deal with the worlds most powerful economy.
