US-Canada Trade Talks Near Deal as Tariff Deadline Looms

The US and Canada are on the cusp of finalizing a comprehensive trade deal after President Donald Trump delayed implementing new tariffs.

In a significant breakthrough, Trump announced Wednesday that he would delay implementing 50% tariffs on select Canadian goods for three days as both sides worked to finalize an agreement.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed cautious optimism, saying Ottawa and Washington were 'now moving towards an agreement'.

Greer, the US trade representative, said he was confident that both sides have a pact that would 'strengthen the North American economy.'
