Donald Trump gives Mark Carney three more days until new tariffs

US President Donald Trump has announced a "deal" with Canada, but details remain uncertain. The agreement reportedly includes comprehensive market access for US goods, commitments to economic security, and alignment on digital trade. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney described "significant progress" in negotiations, but noted that "there is still important work to be done".

The development comes after Trump threatened to impose new 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, including wine and dairy products, if Canada did not lift its restrictions on US goods.
