Canada–US Tariff Negotiations Are Currently at an Impasse. As the deadline for the US to impose additional tariffs on Canada approaches, the two sides have remained unable to reach an agreement due to major differences over their core interests. Sources said that senior officials responsible for trade affairs from both countries have held multiple rounds of intensive consultations in Washington over the past several days, but their positions remain far apart, and there are still no signs of an agreement being reached.
