Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc is scheduled to travel to Washington this week for planned meetings with U.S. officials. The trip comes in response to threats from U.S. President Donald Trump to impose new tariffs on a wide range of Canadian goods starting next month.
The upcoming discussions are taking place as the Trump administration increases pressure on Canada ahead of formal talks regarding the future of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on free trade. In addition to the tariff threats, President Trump has recently cast further doubt on the trilateral trade pact.
