- US and Canada hold last-minute talks to stop Trump’s 50% tariffs
The United States and Canada are currently engaged in intensive negotiations to prevent Donald Trump from imposing 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian products. This effort comes amid tensions driven by Trump's tariff agenda, which marks a departure from the two allied nations' traditionally cooperative relationship. Both countries are seeking an off ramp while negotiating key issues such as critical minerals access and trade relief for commodities like steel and softwood lumber.
