Canada Maintains Trade Stance Despite US Midterm Election Results, Plans Talks
A senior Canadian cabinet minister stated that the recent US midterm election results will not alter Canada's approach to trade negotiations with the United States. Dominic LeBlanc plans to engage soon with US officials, including Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. While President Trump indicated progress toward a trade deal, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney noted that significant work remains and some US demands have been scaled back. Democrats gained control of both the Senate and House, attributing rising costs partly to tariffs and foreign conflicts.
