**Canada and US Trade Negotiations Heat Up Ahead of Deadline**
Amid strained discussions, Canada intensifies efforts to reach a trade agreement with the U.S. before looming deadline.
In the wake of stalled negotiations, Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Trump are under pressure to finalize a trade agreement by July 21. This timeline follows significant discussions at last month's G7 summit, where both leaders emphasized the need for swift action.
Kirsten Hillman, Canada's ambassador to the U.S. and lead negotiator, has indicated that the two nations are actively communicating to find a resolution. These talks are happening within a unique framework, distinct from the ongoing U.S. discussions with other countries, which President Trump has recently extended to August 1.
The urgency of the dialogue between Canada and the U.S. reflects the close partnership these nations share, with Hillman stating, “We know each other well, so we should be able to do this efficiently.” As both sides work toward a consensus, the outcome of these negotiations could potentially reshape trade relations moving forward.
