U.S. and Canada Near Trade Deal as Negotiations Gather Pace

The United States and Canada are moving closer to a trade agreement, White House adviser Kevin Hassett said, as negotiations accelerate following an exchange of tariffs.

Hassett’s remarks pointed to progress in the talks between the two countries, though no details of the proposed agreement or timetable for its conclusion were provided.

The negotiations follow reciprocal tariff measures, putting trade tensions at the center of efforts to reach a deal.

The push for an agreement comes as the United States continues to face pressures linked to energy and inflation, adding an economic backdrop to the talks.
