PM Carney assembling cabinet today to talk U.S. trade, Middle East
The meeting is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET.
Minister responsible for Canada-U.S. Trade Dominic LeBlanc is in Washington today meeting with U.S. officials.
Carney said Monday that Canada's negotiations with the United States are in an 'intense phase' after President Donald Trump clinched a critical agreement with the European Union.
Trump told reporters last week that Canada wasn't a priority ahead of his Aug. 1 deadline to make trade deals.
Ministers are also expected to discuss the situation in the Middle East after the government announced Monday that it's adding $30 million to its humanitarian funding for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and $10 million to 'accelerate reform and capacity-building for the Palestinian Authority.'
