U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has warned Canada that it must remove retaliatory trade measures to avoid additional U.S. tariffs, even as officials from both countries continue negotiations.
According to the report, Greer described recent discussions with Canadian officials as constructive but said Washington remains focused on implementing President Donald Trump's trade policies.
According to the report, Greer criticised Canada's retaliatory measures, comparing them with tactics used by China.
He said the United States views the removal of those measures as an important condition for avoiding additional tariffs.
Despite the growing trade tensions, Greer rejected the characterization of the dispute as a trade war.
The report said he acknowledged disagreements between the two countries over aspects of U.S. trade policy but maintained that negotiations remain focused on resolving outstanding issues.
