Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed Monday to work toward finalizing a new economic and security deal within 30 days, despite ongoing disagreements over tariffs.
The announcement followed their meeting at the G7 Leaders' Summit in Alberta, where Trump reiterated his support for tariffs, calling himself "a tariff person". Canada, the top supplier of steel and aluminium to the U.S., faces tariffs on these metals and auto exports, which remain a sticking point in negotiations.
Carney, elected on a promise to oppose Trump’s tariffs, has pushed for a deal that eliminates trade barriers. His office confirmed the timeline for the agreement but declined to clarify whether Canada had accepted the continuation of some U.S. tariffs.
Optimism for a quick resolution has waned recently, with Canadian officials noting the U.S. appears in no rush. Canada’s ambassador to Washington, Kirsten Hillman, emphasized the goal of a tariff-free agreement but acknowledged talks are ongoing.
Trump suggested the tax hikes must remain part of any deal, stating, “I have a tariff concept. Mark has a different concept. We're going to see if we can get to the bottom of it."
Negotiations will proceed as both nations strive to reach an agreement within the 30-day timeframe.
