Canada Says US Trade Talks Slightly Intensify Ahead of Midterm Elections
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that trade talks with the US under President Donald Trump have slightly intensified, with progress attributed to Washington moving closer to Canada's demands. Despite ongoing dialogue, Canada’s negotiating position remains firm after rejecting US terms in August that crossed Canadian red lines. Trump has imposed tariffs on Canadian goods but recently indicated willingness to lift some tariffs and suggested a deal could be reached before the US midterm elections, though uncertainty remains about the agreement's finalization.
