  "summary": "The US and Canada are reportedly close to a trade deal that would lower tariffs on certain Canadian exports of steel and aluminum. According to Bloomberg News, cited by The Korea Times, the tentative agreement would set tariffs at 25 percent.\n\nThe US had threatened to impose 50 percent tariffs on $29 billion worth of Canadian goods, but the deadline for this action passed without incident, reports The New York Times. The two countries are seeking to finalize the details of the deal before a new tariff deadline on the weekend.\n\nThe talks have made \"significant progress\", according to Prime Minister Carney, as reported by BBC World. However, questions remain about what Canada would give up and what it would get in exchange, The New York Times adds.",
