Globe says Magna, others see GOP Senators oppose levies

The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, June 14, edition that a bloc of Republican senators is vowing to push forward with an attempt to lift President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, and end a mounting trade war between the United States and Canada. The Globe's Greg Keenan and Adrian Morrow write that the pledge came on Wednesday as Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland led an effort to rally opposition to the tariffs in Washington and find a way forward in deadlocked North American free-trade agreement negotiations. Ms. Freeland met with the Senate foreign relations committee, whose chairman has been leading congressional efforts to stop Mr. Trump's tariffs. She was slated to speak with Robert Lighthizer, the President's trade chief and NAFTA point-man, on Thursday. Ms. Freeland condemned the tariffs, calling them "protectionism, pure and simple" and warning that the U.S. was attacking the liberal international order it has led since 1945. Ms. Freeland said, "The idea that we could pose a national security threat to you is more than absurd -- it is hurtful. They are a naked example of the U.S. putting its thumb on the scale, in violation of the very rules it helped to write."
