Obama EPA chief: Reg rollback won't stand Big tech lobbying groups push Treasury to speak out on European Union tax proposal MORE said Tuesday that a tariff exemption for Mexico and Canada will depend on whether the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) can be successfully updated. Therefore, he is seeking to transform the NAFTA where he gets assurances that the member nations do not manipulate exchange rates in a bid to make their goods cheaper and gain an unfair advantage.
Mexico and Canada were exempted when former President George W. Bush imposed steel tariffs in 2002.
Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland, speaking in Mexico City on Monday, repeated the threat of retaliation if the White House imposes the duties on its northern neighbor. "We're going to continue to have one but that doesn't mean we have to continue to agree on everything".

Trump's successes of 2017 - slashing regulations on U.S. industry, hard-won tax cuts and soaring consumer confidence - won plaudits among conservatives like House Speaker Paul Ryan.
"We are extremely anxious about the consequences of a trade war and are urging the White House to not advance with this plan", a spokesperson for the Speaker said in a statement.
