'A mistake': Trump's ex-ambassador says tariffs violate President's own trade pact

Raw Story  

A former ambassador to Canada blasted president Donald Trump's tariffs as a "mistake" and violation of a trade agreement he reached in his first term. Bruce Heyman, who served as ambassador from 2014 to 2017 under former president Barack Obama, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that it was essential for the Trump administration to avoid a full-blown trade war with its northern neighbor, which responded to his 25-percent duty with a corresponding toll. The tariffs likely violate the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement that Trump reached in 2018, according to the former diplomat, but he said the stated reasons for them don't add up. It was a trade agreement, and these tariffs are a direct opposition to that agreement, which we all signed and shook hands, and Donald Trump said this was the greatest trade deal ever, and so all of these other narratives that are coming out don't fit.
