US President Donald Trump said US stakeholders, including farmers and manufacturers, will be "thrilled" with the tentative trade deal between the US and Canada. The two countries had been in negotiations to finalize an agreement, with Canada facing potential significant tariff imposition.
According to Trump, there are "no longer any tariffs" for US exports to Canada, although he noted that the deal has not yet been finalized. The immediate dispute between the two countries centered on Canadian trade practices and market access for American goods.
The talks had been extended by three days, with both nations aiming to resolve the outstanding issues. Substantial progress was acknowledged, but significant work remained to finalize the agreement, according to the Times of India.
