Canada couldn't pose a threat to the US - Canada's Freeland
Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Christina Freeland, addressing Donald Trump's justification for steel tariffs citing national security.
Key highlights:
- Says a tremendous effort has been made to lobby the US; today marks a step forward, but there is more hard work to do.
- Officials are still at work modernizing NAFTA; today's announcement doesn't change that.
- Canada will continue to lobby the US until the tariff threat has completely disappeared.
