Finance Minister Bill Morneau is acknowledging 'clouds' hovering over various trade talks, as Canada struggles to get U.S. tariffs removed and the trade war between the United States and China drags on.

The revised free trade pact between the U.S., Mexico and Canada, known as the USMCA, has yet to be ratified, with Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland warning earlier this week that Canada's support for the agreement may hinge on the removal of U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. Morneau said the Trudeau government is pushing weekly for an end to tariffs of 25 per cent on steel imports to the U.S. and 10 per on aluminum imports -- first imposed by the Trump administration in June, and met by Ottawa with billions of dollars worth of tariffs on American goods.
