Taft Seeks Canada Tariff Stance To Shield US Trade
President Taft aims to deter Canadian policy that would harm American imports under the new tariff. Ottawa reportedly argues Canada buys more from the US than it sells, but may enact minimum or maximum duties, affecting cross border commerce. The law's maximum rates kick in March 31, while Ottawa considers a treaty with France and other shifts in policy that could limit US access. Canadian ministers weigh actions likely to influence United States imports and potential auto enforcement of tariff provisions.
