Canada engages in deepening trade discussions with the U.S., aiming for a resolution before the imminent deadline.
As trade negotiations unfold between Canada and the United States, Canadian officials are ramping up their engagement with U.S. counterparts to reach an agreement before a critical deadline of July 21. Initially discussed during a recent Group of Seven summit, the urgency has grown since the negotiations hit a standstill last month.

The outcome remains uncertain, but the determination to achieve a resolution reflects the importance placed on strong trade ties between the two countries.
Ms. Hillman further indicated that the shared familiarity between the Canadian and U.S. negotiating teams should enhance the efficiency of their discussions. The coming weeks will be critical as both nations work towards a final agreement, making it a pivotal moment for trade relations in North America.
