  • On Friday Prime Minister Mark Carney secured a landmark deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing after a three-day visit, creating tariff breaks and new trade cooperation avenues.
  • Aiming to diversify from U.S. pressure, Ottawa pursued a strategic partnership with China to reduce reliance on the United States and repair strained ties after the past year.

  • U.S. officials reacted strongly, with Jamieson Greer calling the deal problematic for Canada but saying, `I don't expect that to disrupt American supply into Canada`.
