Canada-U.S. trade war to end 'soon,' Trump says, but there's no real sign of a breakthrough

The Montreal Economic Institute report found that steel and aluminum prices in the U.S. market have soared since Trump placed tariffs on those two industrial sectors but have failed to create new jobs. These two sectors provide key inputs in a wide variety of other products, the report found, and they have also become more expensive. The ongoing dispute has left consumers and industrial buyers facing higher price tags on autos, aircraft, construction, machinery, and a wide range of other products.
