A combined North America-Europe soccer league would be good news for Canada
FIFA's future remains up in the air with a lot of talk and political grandstanding, but Canada's positioning matters.
Canada has suspended trade negotiations with the United States after US President Donald Trump's proposal was deemed unfair and uneconomic by Prime Minister Mark Carney, abruptly ending talks that had been nearing a deal. The breakdown occurred hours after Trump stated the agreement with Canada was moving along and expressed confidence in reaching a deal.
US Trade Representative Jamie Greer accused Canada of refusing to finalize a deal despite what Washington described as a favorable offer. Canada will match any new tariffs imposed by the US, with the duties set to take effect at 12:01 a.m. EDT on Saturday, affecting nearly $20 billion of Canadian imports. Canada aims to maintain tariff-free access to the US market for most businesses, reduce American tariffs on key industries, protect small and medium-sized enterprises, and preserve economic independence.
