Key representatives from Canadian and U.S. governments are continuing trade talks as a major tariff deadline approaches. Canada braces for potential 50 percent U.S. tariffs with negotiators yet to reach agreement on key points. Meetings have been called constructive, even as one Canadian MP claimed Canada is getting handled like a punching bag.
Officials from Canada and the United States confer ahead of the 50 percent tariffs to seek resolution. The constructive talks take place on 17 August 2026 as the deadline for tariffs nears. Canada and the U.S. continue the trade discussions between the two countries.
