A bipartisan group of US senators visited Ottawa to meet with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, aiming to strengthen ties and address mounting trade tensions ahead of a looming deadline to renegotiate the Canada-US trade agreement.
The senators emphasized the importance of 'building bridges' and specifically called for the swift repeal of Canada's digital services tax, which they argue harms American businesses. Discussions also covered tariffs, cross-border tourism, and broader trade and security cooperation. Both sides expressed a desire to secure a mutually beneficial deal, but US officials warned that tariffs would remain unless key issues are resolved.
The meetings signal high-stakes negotiations as both countries seek to avoid a renewed trade war.
