- Dominic LeBlanc met with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to negotiate deferring the latest Trump-era tariffs on Canada.
- LeBlanc said the 'job is not yet done' and that talks with American counterparts will continue as the deadline closes in on deferring what the minister described as 'hefty tariffs.'
Why it matters: Canada faces a fast-approaching deadline to defer hefty U.S. tariffs, and the Greer-Lutnick meeting ended without a deal — leaving Canadian exporters exposed to immediate new duties if the deferral isn't secured. Trump remains the deciding voice on whether tariffs are extended, pushed back, or imposed.
