Splinter in trade thumb: President Bush promised Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney he would work to resolve trade disputes between their countries after Mulroney pointedly told Bush that ”harassment” through U.S. tariffs must stop. Bush and Mulroney spoke to reporters after 90 minutes of talks in which the prime minister complained in particular about a U.S. lumber tariff that was reduced but not eliminated last week. Mulroney called the duty ”a very unfair penalty” and said Canada would take the lumber case to a panel under the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement, which he predicted would reject the U.S. position.
