WASHINGTON\/MEXICO CITY – The Trump administration’s chief trade official announced Tuesday that the United States intends to impose tariffs on its North American free trade partners while highlighting major trade disputes with Canada.<\/p>

Speaking at a forum, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated that tariff implementation will continue as long as the country faces substantial trade deficits.<\/p>

“We’re going to have tariffs as long as we have a giant trade deficit,” Greer explained during his remarks. “The reality is we’ve spent the past year and a half going to countries telling them we have to have some level of tariff.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
