Some Canadian negotiators fear there may be no way to avert new U.S. tariffs from taking effect Wednesday, as Ottawa struggles to win relief from Washington on existing sectoral tariffs while also trying to persuade provinces to lift restrictions on American alcohol, sources tell CBC News.
Multiple sources — in both Canada and the U.S. — have been briefed directly on the negotiations and were granted confidentiality to speak frankly about the talks.
Negotiations continue to intensify, with Radio-Canada reporting that Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc is expected to meet again Sunday with his counterpart, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. It would be their third meeting in a week.
Casualties incoming.
