GEOFF ROBINS / AFP

The USA has lifted steel and aluminium tariffs on Canada.

Experts say the development could lead to a new North American trade deal.

In a joint statement, the two countries said a 25% tariff on steel imports, and 10% on aluminium will end in 48 hours.

A similar announcement is expected to be made between the US and Mexico as well.
