President Donald Trump paused for three days the latest tariff threat on $28 billion worth of Canadian goods pending the finalization of the deal.
The U.S. said the threat was in response to trade irritants including the provincial bans on American alcohol in most provinces and Canada’s dairy supply management system.
Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette said the supply management system is a “red line” for her province earlier today.
Carney says on social media the deal “reinforces the Canadian advantage” and contains “the best terms in each of Canada’s most important strategic sectors.”
