The White House seems to be softening its stance on steel and aluminum tariffs.
When asked if countries will be able to get exemptions from tariffs, Press Sec. Sanders opened the door to the possibility.
“We expect that the President will sign something by the end of the week. And there are potential carve-outs for Mexico and Canada based on national security and possibly other countries as well based on that process,” she said Wednesday. “That will be a case by case and country by country basis. It would be determined whether or not there is a national security exemption.”
