Trump lifts metal tariffs and delays auto levies, limiting global trade fight

Trump's trade war has hurt many of the farmers who make up his political base, and he is eager to make good on a 2016 campaign promise to rewrite trade deals in America’s favor.

US President Donald Trump had described the tariffs as a source of leverage in negotiating a revision to that deal, which has yet to be ratified by legislatures in all three countries. (Reuters)
