2.美国取消加拿大铝关税的征收
根据美国贸易代表的官方公告,美国预计今年未来几个月,加拿大的铝业进口将“倒回正常水平”,因此美国将取消加拿大的额外铝业进口关税。The U.S. Trade Representative stated in a statement: "Compared with January to July this year, the next monthly average Canadian aluminum imports will be reduced by about 50%. Therefore, the United States has decided to amend the 10% retaliatory tariff on Canadian aluminum. Policy, continue to implement the duty-free policy."
