US and Canada hold final talks ahead of tariff deadline
Negotiators from the US and Canada met in Washington for a third consecutive day to finalize a trade agreement before threatened tariffs take effect. The discussions aim to resolve longstanding trade tensions and avoid severe economic penalties on Canadian goods.
Top trade negotiators from Canada and the United States met during Friday morning in Washington to finalize a trade agreement before new American tariffs take effect on Saturday. The negotiations follow 18 months of strained relations sparked by earlier U.S. import levies and subsequent Canadian countermeasures. The impending measures threaten a 50% tariff on roughly $20B worth of Canadian goods.
