Washington – U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Canada is to blame for Washington’s decision to intensify the trade war with its northern neighbor.
President Donald Trump signed five new executive orders on Tuesday that increase retaliation after Canada imposed counter duties on U.S. goods.
Greer stated that the Canadian measures prompted the U.S. response, but the specific details of the orders were not disclosed in the statement.
The trade dispute follows Canada’s recent imposition of counter duties on a range of U.S. products, which the U.S. has described as retaliatory.
The orders were announced by the White House, but no further information on the measures was provided.
