WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump's trade czar says if Canada wants a deal with Washington, it will have to accept "some level of higher tariff" and help to reshore American industries. Canada is still being hammered by separate U.S. tariffs on specific industries like steel, aluminum, automobiles, lumber and cabinetry. It also maintains ongoing uncertainty over how the Trump administration will continue to seek leverage over its trading partners. Greer has said the Trump administration is beginning investigations of countries under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. That section allows a president to take trade actions if the administration concludes a country's policies are unreasonable and discriminatory.

Greer suggested Canada should accept some form of tariffs in order to reach a deal with the Trump administration. 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. CUSMA is up for review this year, and the Trump administration has already imposed a raft of tariffs on Canadian exports, including on steel, aluminum, softwood lumber and the auto sector. Canada and the U.S. have yet to launch formal talks on the trade deal, although Prime Minister Mark Carney's government has indicated negotiations will start within a few weeks.
