I believe softwood lumber and steel are separate.
This explains a lot about auto and atou parts for the US.

TRADE-DEAL RATCHET SOLUTION
[GREAT FUN to see our contributions put to use!]
Posted on September 15th thread:
Trump-Tariff BRILLIANCE UNRECOGNIZED: The Content and Origination percentages can be RATCHETED UP whenever President Trump and AMLO decide our countries are ready to take another step toward 100% Made in USM.
Trump-Tariff BRILLIANCE UNRECOGNIZED: The Mexican-Auto $16 Minimum Wage just STARTED ABOVE the American Lefties Minimum Wage propositions of $15 and can be RATCHETED UP whenever President Trump and AMLO decide to.
Watch for Mexico Trade Agreement details that TRANSITION PARTS SOURCING from CHINA to AMERICA with PACING that MATCH the SPEED of AMERICAs MANUFACTURING RENAISSANCE.
Sundance on 9/15 RE WAGES & CONTENT: Thank you for the inspiration!
Combining the wage aspect with the content and origination agreement, this has become a win/win for both AMLO and President Trump.

[RE SIDE LETTERS] This would be a BRILLIANT tactic for pacing the Rate-of-Ratchet to match the Rate-of-Rebuilding for our Auto Parts Industry, preventing critical parts shortages!
Sundance on 9/30 RE SIDE DEALS: Thank you for the explanation!
9. The new agreement puts a system into place to progressively ratchet-up the amount of North American part content produced by Canada; in order to retain their access to the U.S. Market.
11. Additionally, this approach is a tactic for pacing the Rate-of-Ratchet to match the Rate-of-Rebuilding for our North American auto parts industry; which has been heavily outsourced to China/Asia; and the time-allowed will prevent critical parts shortages.
