- Trump applauded Quebec’s new separatist premier on Tuesday, continuing to jab at Ottawa.
- Trump’s top economic adviser suggested a deal to ease the ongoing trade war was possible as fragile talks with Ottawa seemed to gain momentum.
Why it matters: Quebec’s premier received Trump’s public backing, while Ottawa confronted two messages from his camp: an adviser said a trade-war deal was possible, but the president kept needling Canada. The talks were described as both fragile and gaining momentum, making the trade-off between negotiation progress and continued provocation explicit.
