Canada hasn’t yet closed door on U.S. trade deal ahead of midterms: Report
Officials say talks are moving, but they caution that any deal remains uncertain as tariff pressure grows before the U.S. midterms.
- Canadian officials have not ruled out a snap trade deal with the United States before next month's midterm elections, though Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc cautioned that the hope remains faint.
- Talks between the two countries abruptly ended in August when Prime Minister Mark Carney recalled negotiators, prompting the White House to impose a fresh round of tariffs.
- Sources say trade discussions are "moving," with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and an advisory committee noting that U.S. public opinion is finally turning in Canada's favour.
- On Tuesday, U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra told an industry event that the U.S. does not view the relationship as "ruptured," clashing with Canadian officials' characterizations.
- Chief Trade Negotiator Janice Charette warned the Toronto business community that even with a snap deal, Canada is in a permanent transition to a new trading relationship.
