California governor 'absolutely' believes Trump will restart trade talks with Canada in 'a matter of days'

California Governor Gavin Newsom believes that pressure from within the Republican Party will bring US President Donald Trump back to the negotiating table with Canada. Trade talks between the US and Canada abruptly ended last week.

Canada has announced counter-tariffs on US goods, ranging between 15 and 50 per cent, in response to the US imposing 50 per cent duties on Canadian imports. The Canadian tariffs will take effect on September 8 and will impact industries including steel, dairy, and electronics.

The trade tensions between the US and Canada have escalated, with Ontario Premier Doug Ford saying that Trump is treating Canada like Communist China. Ford has called for a fair deal for everyone and for the Canadian prime minister and US president to sit down and negotiate.
