Trump agrees to review tariff exemption for Argentina, government says

Argentina said U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to consider exempting the South American country from the newly signed U.S. tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, which have sparked reaction and retaliation from around the world, Reuters reported March 9.

Argentine President Mauricio Macri, during a call with Trump, expressed concerns about the possible impact of the tariffs, according to the report, which cited a statement from the Argentine government.

The White House said March 9 that the two leaders discussed the new tariffs and "agreed to stay in touch to strengthen the robust bilateral relationship" between the two countries.

Trump on March 8 signed orders enacting tariffs of 25% on global steel imports and 10% on aluminum, effective in 15 days. Canada and Mexico will be temporarily exempted from the tariffs while the U.S. renegotiates the North American Free Trade Agreement.

The EU and Japan are reportedly working on obtaining exemptions, while Australia was able to secure an exemption.
