Canada’s Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc is in Washington, D.C., and is scheduled to meet with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer as a new U.S. tariff deadline approaches.
Global News and Business in Vancouver both report that LeBlanc travels alongside Canada’s chief trade negotiator Janice Charette. Business in Vancouver specifies the meeting is set for Thursday, framing it as the next step as the U.S. president’s latest tariff timeline draws close. Global News describes the stakes in terms of tariffs expected to rise toward the 50% level, while Business in Vancouver highlights the broader “tariff deadline” context. Across the coverage, the core focus is the same: Canadian officials use in-person talks in Washington to address the impending U.S. measures.
No outlet in the provided excerpts details the specific sectors affected, the Canadian demands to be raised, or any immediate outcome from the meeting.
