LeBlanc to meet Trump’s trade czar in Washington on Tuesday
LeBlanc and Janice Charette will meet Jamieson Greer as Ottawa seeks to restart stalled talks before the CUSMA review, officials said.
On Tuesday, Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc travels to Washington to meet U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer for bilateral trade discussions.
President Donald Trump froze trade talks with Canada last year after an Ontario-sponsored ad quoting former president Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs angered him.
LeBlanc will be joined by Chief Trade Negotiator Janice Charette and spokesperson Gabriel Brunet for the meeting, as official trade talks remain stalled.
While Canada and the U.S. have yet to launch official negotiations, The United States and Mexico have already started talks regarding the CUSMA trade pact.
Greer recently stated the Trump administration holds significant trade issues with Canada, complicating the upcoming mandatory review of the CUSMA agreement.
Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc will travel to Washington on Tuesday to meet with Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, while the July 1 deadline to agree on possible changes to the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CAUM) is coming very soon.
