Canada-U.S. trade talks hit Saturday deadline with key issues unresolved

Trump announced a deal Tuesday but paused 50-per-cent tariffs on US$20-billion in Canadian goods only until 12:01 a.m. EDT Saturday. Carney told premiers the tariff relief amount is unresolved. LeBlanc and Charette meet U.S. negotiator Greer in Washington Thursday. LeBlanc said Friday the sides remain far apart — the third deadline extension in three weeks.
