Donald Trump says Canada agreed to "remove discriminations" in trade talks

Trade negotiators from Canada and the United States met in Washington on Wednesday after President Donald Trump suspended threatened 50% tariffs on roughly $30 billion in Canadian imports. Trump’s three-day pause, announced by proclamation, came after he said Canada had agreed to address what he characterized as unfair treatment of American autos, dairy, and alcohol. The president claimed a “deal,” while Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney acknowledged only “substantial progress” and said significant work remained. No agreement details or concession documents were released. Still unresolved are Canada’s retaliatory tariffs, dairy quotas, liquor restrictions, and Ottawa’s push for relief from existing U.S. duties on steel, aluminum, autos, and lumber.
