Trump and Carney discuss tariff delay
The article discusses Canada's efforts to avoid the imposition of new American tariffs, amounting to 50% on its imports, which total approximately $20 billion and are set to take effect at midnight on Wednesday. The main point of disagreement between Canada and the United States is the tariffs on Canadian cars, with officials discussing a reduction of these tariffs from 25% to 15%, along with potential further cuts depending on the percentage of American components in the vehicles. The industry warns that these tariffs could lead to job losses and company closures, as well as complicate broader negotiations between the United States, Canada, and Mexico regarding trade. Both sides are seeking an agreement to prevent economic damage before the deadline expires.
