President Trump Meets With Steel And Aluminum Manufacturing Industry Leaders March 1st 2018
He said they need to contact US trade czar Robert Lighthizer, and negotiate.
More broadly, Mr Trump's tariffs fulfil a campaign promise for his base, and "could bring back some steel production and jobs, but that depends on many factors", said Benn Steil, a senior fellow and director of global economics at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). "I thank him for that and he's been a good listener".
SHAPIRO: How is this news being received in Canada? We're going to straighten it out, and we'll do it in a very loving way. When we're down by USD 30 billion, USD 40 billion, USD 60 billion, USD 100 billion, the trade war hurts them. So what specifically are people panicked about?
"There is a series of legislative actions that could be taken to reverse the decision, obviously with the president supporting them they would have to be done in a way that would overcome any action that he would take, but we still have time", Gardner said.
"This has been a true Team Canada effort", said Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland, also crediting provincial premiers, businesses and labour leaders.
For this, the Canadian government deserves considerable credit. And there's just a sense when you're a smaller player - we're 10 percent the size of the United States in population and economy.
He said the Mexican government was now analyzing which United States exports it would tax.
Trump praised his top trade representative during his remarks March 8, and said Lighthizer would be responsible for negotiating with countries seeking additional exemptions from the aluminum and steel levies.
He added that the NAFTA renegotiation is an administration "priority", along with shifting trade with China to a "fair and balanced" relationship. You've been involved in past trade negotiations.

Trump's tariffs get mixed reception in Oregon
China in fact runs a massive trade surplus with the United States. It is impossible to predict how the WTO will rule on that point. The tariffs could potentially have an impact in Northeast Ohio.
Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors LP Raises Stake in Buckeye Partners, LP (BPL)
It is positive, as 43 investors sold MGM shares while 113 reduced holdings. 118 funds opened positions while 525 raised stakes. Euclidean Technologies Management Llc decreased Gamestop Corp New (GME) stake by 16.41% reported in 2017Q3 SEC filing.
But, whether this is true depends on whom you ask. And I mean, we have a responsibility to - you know, for the next generation, as well.
U.S. Steel said it would restart one of two idled blast furnaces at an IL steel plant, creating up to 500 jobs. It raises the question of whether tariffs can do anything other than make the global market less efficient. He said the idea that Britain would be penalized on national security grounds was "absurd". That's never actually really been litigated before in the WTO.
In one alleged example of haphazard policy-making, a report this week said the president raised the tariff rates for branding purposes, increasing them from the 24 and 7 per cent recommended by the Department of Commerce - because he wanted nice, round numbers.
And if the United States were to lose, then I think the world trading world has always assumed that that would be tremendously politically unpopular in the United States and could lead to the United States pulling out of the World Trade Organization.
The proclamations signed by Trump in this regard a day earlier gives exemptions to only two countries - Canada and Mexico.
It's still unclear whether that means Canada will be granted an exemption. And I just - when I look at what the president did around the Keystone XL pipeline a year ago, he threatened to make sure that only American steel could be used in the construction of the Keystone pipeline. That's left Canadian firms in a "wait and see" mode, with some holding off on investments until the fog clears, said Demetrius Tsafaridis, whose Burlington firm CareGo sells steel storage and logistics technology to companies on both sides of the border.
"Our point is that these tariffs are going to have a bigger impact on our American economy than what their goal is", she said.
U.S. Steel CEO David Burritt hailed Trump for taking steps "to begin to level the playing field so companies like ours can compete, win and create jobs that support our employees and the communities in which we operate as well as strengthen our national and economic security".
