Steel and Aluminum Tariff Exemption Deadline Extended

Further to our notice yesterday regarding the expiration of the temporary exemption from steel and aluminum tariffs by the US, the Trump administration announced last night that there will be an extension granted until the end of May. Canada and Mexico are two of the countries being exempted from this tariff and President Trump has indicated that the exceptions could become permanent upon a successful renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement. The next round of negotiations is scheduled to begin on May 7, 2018.
