U.S. manufacturers plead for tariffs on Canada, Mexico to be lifted
U.S. tariffs on Canada, Mexico need to come off, manufacturers plead
American automakers, aluminum producers, manufacturers and farmers are running out of time, money and patience as the North American tariff standoff persists, and they’re pleading with the United States to put an end to it.
Industry emissaries are warning U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross that President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Mexican and Canadian steel and aluminum, as well as their reciprocal countermeasures, are rapidly undermining whatever benefits the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement will produce once it takes effect.
“The damage from the reciprocal trade actions in the steel dispute far outweighs any benefit that may accrue to them from the USMCA,” the group writes in a letter released this week by a coalition of more than 40 different industry associations and lobby groups.
“The continued application of metal tariffs means ongoing economic hardship for U.S. companies that depend on imported steel and aluminum, but that are not exempted from these tariffs. Producers of agricultural and manufactured products that are highly dependent on the Mexican and Canadian markets are also suffering serious financial losses.”
COMMENT:-
The Association of American Steel and Aluminum Manufacturing Companies is expected to be issuing a stinging rebuttal shortly.
"All Americans should be proud to bear a little bit of the paid required to secure the profits of American steel and aluminum companies." - right?

This is how you know this story is manufactured. The G&M, is about as left wing as they come, bro.

Yes, the Trade Emissaries. Please post your evidence that no such letter was written, as reported in the article you said was fake.
Not my job, that is the role of the media that reported it. They didn't get a letter signed, "trade emissaries", ya know.. LOL
Who are these imaginary people?
Tim-
You're the one who said it was fake. The burden is on you to back up your post.
Now please post the evidence that they didn't write the letter, as the article claimed.
As soon as you or the G&M tell me who "they" are..
Tim-
You can email all of the media outlets carrying the story and ask them who "they" are. But first you have to post your proof that this story is fake. I'm still waiting.
You can't wait until you're blue in the face for all I care. You, and a great many others on this forum continuously show your ineptitude at spotting manufactured news. Don't you get it by now? All one has to do is name unnamed sources for seemingly negligible stories, one's that might garner some attention for some that want to grasp onto anything that seemingly hurts Trump, but not enough to raise any serious attention, and whammo.. Hook line and sinker.. They are preying on the TDS'ers out there, like you, tres.

Okay, so you know it's fake, but you don't know why and have no proof. Got it.
