Canada-U.S. Trade Negotiators to Meet Again Today
The talks come as President Donald Trump’s 50% tariffs on Canadian goods are set to begin Wednesday, with both sides still far apart.
- On Sunday, Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer met virtually to discuss the looming 50% tariff threat scheduled for August 19, with the remote format necessitated by Greer's birthday.
- President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing 50% tariffs on approximately $28 billion of Canadian exports, citing provincial bans on U.S. liquor, supply-managed dairy systems, and vehicle quotas.
- Before addressing U.S. concerns, Canada seeks relief from sectoral tariffs impacting steel, aluminum, automotive, and lumber industries, while Chief Trade Negotiator Janice Charette and Jeff Goettman continue technical discussions.
- Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre urged Prime Minister Mark Carney to secure 'a great deal' on Sunday, stating, 'No more concessions while getting nothing in return.'
- As the Wednesday deadline approaches, Canada is preparing a formal response, though Quebec Economy Minister Bernard Drainville noted the two sides remain far from an agreement.
