Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said trade negotiations between Canada and the United States have made significant progress, after US President Donald Trump announced a suspension of 50% tariffs on certain Canadian goods. Carney posted on X that Canada has the best overall trade terms in these negotiations and is now moving toward an agreement that will strengthen Canada's advantages. Trade ministers from both countries are meeting in Washington, DC to finalize a deal. Carney also held an online meeting with Canada's provincial and territorial premiers to discuss the ongoing trade talks with the United States, and stressed that the government's goal is to achieve the best possible agreement for Canadians, one that must give Canadian businesses the greatest possible access to the US market.
