U.S., Canada in last-minute talks to head off steep new U.S. tariffs

The U.S. and Canada are conducting last-minute negotiations to prevent President Donald Trump from imposing 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods. With a 12:01 a.m. Wednesday deadline approaching, both nations seek a truce to avoid further deteriorating relations. Tensions are already high due to existing trade disputes and inflammatory comments regarding Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state. The outcome of these talks will determine the fate of the proposed tariffs.
