Donald Trump says the United States and Canada reach a last-minute agreement to avoid imposing tariffs after negotiations tied to a federal deadline. Trump frames the deal as preventing “crippling” tariff outcomes, with the talks occurring ahead of a 12:01 a.m. Wednesday deadline set by the president.
The outlets describe the negotiations as taking place while Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney engages directly with Trump. While the tariff dispute and the avoidance of the deadline are central to the reporting, the coverage also notes that Trump uses the moment to renew discussion of a large oil pipeline. The emphasis in the provided sources is on the timing of the deal and Trump’s linkage of trade developments to energy policy, though the specific deal terms are not detailed in the excerpts.
