Episode Details

Canada and the U.S. are locked in tense trade talks over looming 50% tariffs on Canadian exports, with both sides stuck on key issues like steel, aluminum, cars, and lumber. While U.S. officials frame demands as retaliation against Canada’s own trade barriers—comparing them to China’s tactics—Canadian negotiators push for steep tariff cuts, especially on auto parts that could still face hefty duties under new rules. Auto unions and industry leaders warn of economic damage if Canada caves, while Washington also seeks limits on dairy and alcohol imports. With deadlines looming and major economic stakes at play, Canada is racing to strike a deal before tariffs hit next week, aiming first for sector-specific fixes before tackling the broader trade pact.
