Midwest Food Manufacturers Applaud Lifting of Steel and Aluminum Tariffs
The Midwest Food Products Association (MWFPA) today applauded the decision to lift the tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada and Mexico.
“The removal of these tariffs is very positive news for our members and for the consumers of canned food products. The U.S. Congress should build on this major development by passing USMCA quickly,” said MWFPA President Nick George.
The Trump administration reached a deal today to lift tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada and Mexico. In a joint statement, the U.S. and Canadian governments say those trade barriers would be removed within two days, as would the tariffs on American agricultural products that Canada imposed in retaliation.
