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 critical trade agreement deadline.
The talks focused on renewing the Canada-US-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), addressing ongoing trade disputes such as tariffs and the digital services tax, and ensuring mutual economic benefits. Senators emphasized the importance of 'building bridges' rather than escalating tensions, while also urging Canada to repeal its digital services tax, which has been a point of contention. Both sides expressed a desire to secure a deal that benefits their respective citizens and economies.
The meetings signal a concerted effort to resolve differences and avoid a potential trade war as the deadline approaches.
