Canada U.S. Trade Talks Hit Deadline | Edmonton News
Description
Canadian trade reps are racing against time in Washington D.C. to avoid a looming 50% tariff threat on Canadian goods by August 19th, with high-stakes talks underway between Canada’s Minister Dominic LeBlanc and U.S. Trade Rep Jamieson Greer — their fourth meeting in just three weeks. While the U.S. offers a new proposal that might ease some tariffs, Canada isn’t pleased and is pushing back hard over demands for critical minerals, security, and energy deals. With President Trump publicly threatening tariffs and Canada warning it won’t negotiate if the deadline passes, both sides are under pressure to find a breakthrough — or face serious economic fallout.
