Wall Street Journal’s Peter Nicholas, Louise Radnofsky and Jacob Schlesinger report (https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-wont-quickly-announce-new-tariffs-on-aluminum-steel-1519921704?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=4c95763edf-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_03_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-4c95763edf-145367789) .

Meanwhile, as Reuters reports (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trade-trump-canada/canadian-trade-minister-says-any-u-s-steel-tariff-unacceptable-idUSKCN1GD67P?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=4c95763edf-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_03_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-4c95763edf-145367789) , Canadian Trade Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said today that any U.S. tariff or quota imposed on Canada’s steel industry would be “unacceptable” and would be felt in both Canada and the United States.
