  "account": "Canada's trade minister Dominic LeBlanc emphasized the need for further negotiations as the US trade deadline loomed, telling reporters in Washington on Friday evening that their work was not complete. With only hours left to finalize the deal, LeBlanc spent eight hours in meetings with US trade representative Jamie Jamieson Greer and other negotiators. President Donald Trump, during an interview, stated that the talks were \"moving along,\" but did not confirm whether a definitive agreement had been reached. Details leaked to the media suggest that the US would reduce tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum from 50% to 25%, and on automobiles from 25% to 15%. In exchange, Canada is reportedly willing to allow greater access for American dairy producers and remove its retaliatory tariffs on US goods. Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew advised his country to hold firm and avoid rushing into concessions, while some provincial leaders, such as Quebec Premier Christine Frechette, are still analyzing the deal's impact on their industries. Ontario Premier Doug Ford has not yet commented publicly on the negotiations. The outcome of the talks remains uncertain, with concerns raised about potential job losses and the de-industrialization of Canada's economy if one-sided tariffs are imposed.",
  "summary": "Negotiations to finalise a deal between the US and Canada are going down to the wire ahead of a Friday night deadline.",
