Leblanc Has 'Constructive' Meeting With U.s. Counterpart As Trade Talks Continue

Swift News

Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc had a "constructive [and] lengthy" meeting with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in Washington on Tuesday morning, the minister's office said.

The meeting comes as the two countries have yet to reach some sort of trade agreement since U.S. President Donald Trump began his tariff campaign after returning to the White House in January.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced last Friday that Canada will drop some retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products to match American tariff exemptions for goods covered under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade, called CUSMA.
