The verbal tit-for-tat trade rift across the Atlantic heated up over the weekend when President Trump tweeted that he would target European car imports in response to an EU threat to American products following the president's announcement of tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Trump's trade advisors said in television interviews over the weekend that U.S. allies would not be excluded from metal import duties, with Peter Navarro, director of the National Trade Council at the White House, saying there may be exemptions for specific products deemed necessary for business growth. The president is expected to sign a formal executive order for the tariffs by the end of next week. Currently, the TSX is up 0.17% and the DOW is down 0.05%.
