The talks are expected following Washington’s move to slap 35 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods, Minister Dominic LeBlanc said Sunday.

The Canadian prime minister said he was "disappointed" by President Donald Trump's move to increase certain tariffs.

Canada minister Dominic LeBlanc expressed optimism that a deal could be reached to reduce the newly imposed 35% US tariffs on Canadian goods outside the USMCA. He hinted at upcoming talks between Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Trump.
