U.S.-Canada Trade Talks: Complex Negotiations. President Trump called U.S.-Canada trade talks complicated but said Canada would ultimately be satisfied with the outcome. Trump and PM Mark Carney held a friendly White House meeting, unlike Trump’s past tensions with Justin Trudeau. Trump said Canadian car companies hurt the U.S. economy by creating cross-border competition. Canada remains the only G7 country without a finalized trade deal with Trump this year, despite an August deadline passing. The U.S. has imposed a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, with exemptions for goods covered under the USMCA trade agreement. Additional sector-specific U.S. tariffs include 50% on Canadian metals and 25% on automobiles. Trump said trade friction comes from the countries’ proximity and overlapping industries, especially in steel and autos. Carney highlighted the strong economic relationship between the countries, with 75% of Canadian exports going to the U.S. Both leaders were confident a mutually beneficial deal could be reached despite challenges. The idea of Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state resurfaced briefly during the meeting but was treated humorously by both sides.
