A bipartisan group of US senators visited Ottawa to meet with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, aiming to strengthen trade and security ties ahead of a looming trade agreement deadline.
The senators emphasized the importance of repealing Canada's digital services tax, which has been a point of contention for US tech companies. Both sides expressed a desire to 'build bridges' and avoid escalating trade tensions, especially as the threat of renewed tariffs and a potential trade war looms. The meetings also touched on issues like lumber tariffs and cross-border tourism, with US lawmakers expressing hope for a swift resolution.
The talks are seen as critical for securing a new trade deal that benefits both countries before the August 1 deadline.
