WASHINGTON—Canada might ratify its new North American trade deal with the United States and Mexico even if the U.S. doesn’t drop its tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says. In an interview with CNN, portions of which are airing Tuesday as U.S. voters cast ballots in pivotal midterm elections, Trudeau said Canada still wants the tariffs lifted before the new version of NAFTA goes into effect. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks with Nina Easton an American author, journalist, and TV commentator during the Fortune Most Powerful Women International Summit in Montreal on Monday. “What my father taught me was to trust Canadians,” Trudeau responded. Canada is watching the results closely, Trudeau said, but will work with whatever representatives Americans elect.
