U.S.-Canada Talks Stall as Tariff Deadline Nears

“President Donald Trump’s administration is downplaying expectations for a last-minute deal with Canada to avert fresh tariffs set to take effect Wednesday, people familiar with the matter said,” Bloomberg reports.

“The U.S. has signaled privately that the chances of a deal on Tuesday are a coin flip or worse, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe confidential discussions. The two sides face a midnight deadline before 50% tariffs on billions of dollars worth of Canadian goods would kick in.”
