The White House confirmed on Wednesday that Trump will exempt Canada and Mexico when he signs a proclamation on Thursday imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.

The proclamation will offer temporary relief to Canada and Mexico, reversing Trump’s original insistence that measures apply to U.S. allies as well as nations like China.

The exemptions could be extended based on progress in renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement.
