Скачать или смотреть Tariff relief tempered as Carney set to have second Oval Office meeting with Trump

Mark Carney is set to have his second meeting in the Oval Office with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday as the prime minister balances the expectations of Canadians with the realities of trying to negotiate any tariff relief.

Trump on Monday indicated that he remained committed to realigning global trade and taking business from Canada through his massive tariff regime.

“I guess he’s going to ask about tariffs,” Trump said when asked about the upcoming meeting with Carney. “Because a lot of companies from Canada are moving into the United States, you know, everybody’s moving back into the U.S., and he’s probably going to be asking about tariffs. They’re losing a lot companies in Canada.”


Carney and Trump have been in constant contact since the two leaders met at the White House in May as Ottawa looks for a tariff-off ramp. Carney dropped Canada’s digital services tax and many retaliatory tariffs. He boosted border security and fast-tracked defence spending to hit NATO targets.

Meanwhile, Trump boosted duties on Canada to 35 per cent in August but those duties don’t apply to goods compliant under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade, known as CUSMA. Canada is also being hammered by tariffs on steel, aluminum, automobiles and copper.

Lumber tariffs are set to go into place later this month and Trump Monday announced plans to impose a 25-per-cent tariff on medium and heavy-duty truck imports on Nov. 1
