As Trump announces tariffs Trudeau takes to Davos stage to unveil Canada's new trade deal with Asia
DAVOS  Switzerland â Hours after  the Trump administration  announced  its  first major tariffs on imported washing machines and solar panels  Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told a global audience that his country had just reached a historic trade deal with 10 Asia-Pacific countries. The symbolism from Canada was clear: When it comes to trade  the rest of the world is ready to move forward without  President Trump .
Trudeau called the new deal the CPTPP  which stands for the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership. The name was a reminder that Canada and other nations went forward with the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) after  Trump  pulled out a year ago. The withdrawal from TPP was one of  Trump 's first acts as president. At the time  experts warned that leaving TPP probably would mean the United States would be outflanked on trade.
 Trump   who has called TPP a âdisasterâ and a ârapeâ of American workers  is scheduled to speak Friday on the same stage at Davos where Trudeau announced his new trade agreement.
Anticipation is high in Davos that  Trump  will announce further trade measures in 2018 â and there is concern about the future of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
âWhat we want is fair trade â  Trump  has said repeatedly. âWe're gonna treat countries fairly  but they have to treat us fairly.â
American  Canadian and Mexican officials are meeting in Montreal this week for a sixth round of talks aimed at renegotiating NAFTA.  Trump  has said the trade agreement  in effect since 1994  hurts U.S. manufacturing and workers.
Burrow is calling for a ânew social contractâ in which governments and businesses give more protections to workers  including the ability to unionize. Her solution differs greatly from  Trump 's push to scale back regulations on businesses.
Many chief executives at Davos say they don't view  Trump 's recent tariffs as the start of a global trade war. They think that the U.S. president is looking to score political points with his base  but that he won't want to upset the stock market record highs and the faster economic growth by putting up too many trade barriers  a move that probably would spook businesses and investors.
â Trump  is coming [to Davos] to show  he 's not the ogre  he 's been portrayed as â said David Rubenstein  co-founder of the Carlyle Group  a top private equity firm.
Rubenstein has close ties to some  Trump  staff members  including Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. Rubenstein predicted that  Trump 's message Friday will be: âI want to work with you  but you have to work on my terms.â
