Speaking in Des Moines, Iowa, United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said there are 'a lot of issues' with Canada, after being asked by a CBC reporter if there were particular areas the two countries couldn't find agreement on. Greer said that for the U.S., the current situation 'is not a trade war,' but if a country retaliates, 'we're obviously not going to tolerate that.'
