Regina Mayor joins their counterparts from all over North America in the capital to call for the end of the trade war

Regeina Chad Pashinski’s mayor joined a conference of mayors from all over North America on Friday to call for the end of the growing trade war between the United States and its neighbors.

Bachynski was one of the seven Canadian municipal mayors invited to the two -day conference in Washington, DC, which was hosted by the American mayor and the Canadian Municipal Union in conjunction with the American mayor’s conference and the Canadian Municipal Union. More than twenty local officials from Canada, Mexico and the United States attended.

“We urge national leaders to put our societies first, end the trade war, and to preserve our strong countries with free and fair trade,” the coalition said after concluding on Friday.

“Our families, companies, and workers depend on them.”

Pashinski said he had made the definitive tariff challenges during the meeting.

He said: “Some of my points highlighted our industries – food, fuel, fertilizers and steel – really tend to those industries in which we know we are a global power.” “The idea that by imposing definitions, the United States will have a magically industry here to take over resources and create jobs, unrealistic.”

On March 26, US President Donald Trump announced a 25 percent new tariff for foreign auto parts, threatening the Canadian auto industry in chaos. It is scheduled to start on April 2.

The move came several months after the customs tariff outside the jarat. On March 12, the United States launched a 25 percent tariff on all steel and aluminum imports, which followed the resumption of March 4 by 25 percent on all Canadian goods that were briefly implemented in February.

About 40 percent of Canadian goods were exempted from the tariffs on March 6, when Trump amended the policy to exclude all the goods covered by the American Trade and Mexico agreement.

This exemption is scheduled to end with the launch of the car tariff on April 2.

Pashinski said that the uncertainty in the customs tariff environment was another topic of discussion at the conference.

“Whether we know the type of definitions in place, or not on any specific day, uncertainty still drives a lot of influence,” he said. “Investment continues to stop, and employment may be freezed due to uncertainty.”

Pasinski said that some Americans are concerned about returning to Trump’s policies.

“There is a real reservation about what it might mean to talk about in terms of the effects of the financing they might receive,” he said.

The mayor of Ottawa Marc Sotc on, who also attended the meeting, said that the Trump administration would hear the message sent by the conference.

“I will leave it to the Prime Minister and the new federal government after the elections, the Prime Minister in our provinces, to deal with high -level negotiations,” he said.

The Canadian government is currently enjoying the $ 30 billion definitions of American goods, and a 25 percent mutual tariff on additional commodities worth $ 29.8 billion in response to steel and aluminum definitions.

On Wednesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney said that Canada will launch a new retaliatory tariff if the new US tariffs enter into force on April 2.
