on may 17, 2019, the u.s. reached a deal to lift the steel and aluminum tariffs on mexico and canada. lifting the tariffs were seen as helping pave the way for further ratification of the united states–mexico–canada agreement. according to a joint statement, the canadian and the u.s. governments said the u.s. will scrap the metals duties within two days of the deal. canada will remove tariffs levied on american goods in retaliation for the steel and aluminum duties. the countries will also drop all pending litigation in the world trade organization related to the tariffs, set up measures to "prevent the importation of aluminum or steel that is unfairly subsidized and/or sold at dumped prices" and "prevent the transshipment of aluminum and steel made outside of canada or the united states to the other country" and make an "agreed-upon process for monitoring aluminum and steel trade between them". in a separate statement, the mexican government also said it would remove retaliatory tariffs it put on the u.s. and cease pending litigation. mexico also said it would set up measures to stop unfair trade practices in the aluminum and steel markets and to monitor trade of the metals in north america.
