- Dominic LeBlanc, Canada's U.S. Trade Minister, met with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to discuss deferring Trump's latest tariffs.
- LeBlanc said talks with his American counterparts will continue and that 'the job is not yet done,' as the deadline to defer the 'hefty' tariffs rapidly approaches.
Why it matters: Canada's top trade minister engaging directly with two of the U.S.'s senior economic officials — Greer and Lutnick — shows both sides are treating the deferral of these 'hefty' tariffs as urgent. With the deadline closing in, Canadian and American businesses tied to cross-border trade face an imminent decision that will determine whether new costs take effect or are pushed back.
