‘Two strong economies’: Canada’s Business Minister pledged to continue business talks with us; Despite Trump’s new tariff insisted the dialogue

Canadian Trade Minister Dominic Labbe said on Sunday that his country is ready to continue working towards a new trade agreement with the US, despite the leaving Washington without a deal and faced with the increased tariff from the Trump administration. “We are ready to stick and work around in an interview with Labbalan in an interview with Margaret Brainon. “We believe that in terms of building two strong economies, there is a lot of common practice in terms of building two strong economies working simultaneously between the United States and Canada.”The White House announced last week that the tariffs on Canadian goods have not been covered under the Canadian-United States of America-Maxico Agreement (CUSMA), increasing from 25% to 35%. The move was justified with concerns on immigration and fentenele, the administration claimed that Canada had not enough to address those issues.Leblanc described the decision as “disappointing”, but emphasized that the talks would continue. He said that there was a “creative, cordial conversation” discussion with American trade representative Jaimison Greer and Commerce Secretary Howard Hulkik.“We are encouraged by conversation with Secretary Lootnik and Ambassador Greer,” he said. “But we are not yet where we need to go to get the deal that is in the best interest of two economies.”Tariff Hike is part of a comprehensive trading cracks announced by Trump last week, targeting more than 60 countries. Canada, America’s second largest trading partner, was the most important nation affected. According to data from the Census Bureau, in 2024, Canada bought about $ 350 billion in US goods and exported $ 412 billion to the US market.In a national interview on Friday on a separate face, Greer pointed to the first Canadian retade tariff under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which was a reason for growth. “If the President is going to take an action and takes back on Canadian, the United States needs to maintain the integrity of our action … so we also have to go up,” he said, CBS News said.“Our view is that the President is trying to fix the terms of business with Canada, and if there is any way of any deal, we will find it,” Greer said. “And if it is not, then we will have the tariff level that we have.”Responding to a statement on Friday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was “disappointed” with American action, given that “Canada is only 1% of American Phentenell responsible and is working intensely to reduce these versions further.”Labbank said on Sunday that Carney is expected to describe President Trump as “the number of”, “business-like” and “respectable” with President Trump.“We fully understand and respect the President’s attitude in the context of national security interests. In fact, we share it,” Lablink said. “And what we have said to our American counterparts is how we can structure the correct agreement, where both of us can continue to supply each other in a reliable, cost -effective manner that protects the jobs required for the American economy? But the same thing is true, of course, in Canada too.,Trump has increased rapidly since the two countries took over in January and flew the idea that Canada could become a “51st state”. Carney dismissed the perception during the May Oval Office meeting, saying that Canada is “not for sale.”
