Canada-U.S. Trade Talks at Breaking Point | Bermuda News

Canada and the U.S. are racing against the clock to finalize a trade deal before new tariffs hit Saturday, with top negotiators Dominic LeBlanc and Jamieson Greer meeting again in Washington. Progress has been made, potentially slashing U.S. tariffs on Canadian cars, steel, and aluminum—down from 25% to 15% for cars and halving steel/aluminum duties. The dispute, ignited last year by reciprocal tariffs, threatens both economies, so a breakthrough is critical. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will meet Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand, and Prime Minister Mark Carney has urged provinces to consider lifting a U.S. alcohol ban if a deal is reached. With President Trump open to concessions, the world is watching to see if diplomacy can avert a trade war. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
