Argentina says Trump agreed to evaluate tariff exemption request
U.S. President Donald Trump agreed during a call with Argentine President Mauricio Macri to consider Argentina's request for an exemption from tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.
In a statement, the Argentine government said Macri had "expressed his concern about the potential negative effect of these measures" during a call. Argentina previously said it would seek to join Mexico and Canada in getting an exemption to the tariffs, which Trump finalized in a proclamation.
The presidency said Trump was committed to "evaluating a request so that Argentina can be exempt from any restrictive measures that affect steel and aluminum exports" to the U.S. Trump has said that he wants to protect U.S. producers. But businesses and U.S. trading partners worldwide have warned the measure could trigger a trade war.

7 年The tariff is a negotiation tool. Friends and allies will get an exemption, so they should request it. This is not a measure to end relationships. It’s specifically made to realign trade relationships. Especially the Chinese trade deficit.
