Key Terms Remain Unclear In US-Canada Trade Deal

WASHINGTON (AP) — Canada and the United States have moved closer to finalizing a trade agreement that would avert threatened 50% U.S. tariffs. A senior Canadian official calls the emerging terms “a very good deal for Canada” while cautioning that negotiations are not complete. President Donald Trump says the agreement was “very fair” to both sides and predicts U.S. farmers and manufacturers will benefit. Prime Minister Mark Carney has asked provincial premiers to return U.S. alcohol to store shelves, according to Nova Scotia’s premier. The tariffs on about $20 billion worth of Canadian imports have been postponed until 12:01 a.m. Saturday.
