Uncertainty Mounts Over U.S.-Canada Trade Deal

UNITED STATES – The United States have moved closer to finalizing a trade agreement that could prevent a staggering 50% tariff on Canadian imports.

A senior Canadian official called the emerging terms “a very good deal for Canada,” but cautioned that negotiations are not yet complete.

President Donald Trump weighed in, saying the agreement is “very fair” and will benefit U.S. farmers and manufacturers.

The tariffs, affecting about $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, have been postponed until 12:01AM Saturday.

Prime Minister Mark Carney even urged provincial premiers to return U.S. alcohol to store shelves, to address a key trade concern from the Trump administration.
