The Trump administration agreed on Friday to lift its tariffs on industrial metals from Mexico and Canada in exchange for the adoption of new monitoring and enforcement measures to prevent Chinese steel from being shipped to the U.S. The U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum, imposed in March 2018, were lifted over the weekend, the Washington Post reported.
Trade groups, including the Association of General Contractors, reacted positively to the news, saying that the move is a positive step both for the construction industry and the economy at large.
