US Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross has said that the exemption from Section 232 duties might be extended for another month for Canadian imports, if NAFTA talks go well, according to media reports.
“Depending where we are with NAFTA on June 1, the president will decide whether or not to extend their situation. So it’s un-forecastable at the moment”, Ross said.
On May 1, temporary exemptions from Section 232 duties were extended until June 1 for some countries including NAFTA partners Canada and Mexico.
