PM Carney assembling cabinet today to talk U.S. trade, Middle East

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney is meeting virtually with his cabinet today to discuss the state of trade negotiations with the U.S. and the situation in the 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.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 30, 2025.

LeBlanc ‘Encouraged' After Meeting With Lutnick, Lawmakers Ahead of Tariff Deadline

Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc says he's feeling 'encouraged' after meeting with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and American lawmakers in Washington, D.C., ahead of next week's tariff deadline. U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to slap Canada with 35 percent tariffs if there's not a deal by Aug. 1 but the White House has said it would not include goods compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade.

Trump Says US May Not Have a Negotiated Trade Deal with Canada

The United States may not reach a negotiated trade deal with Canada, US President Donald Trump said on Friday, suggesting his administration could set a tariff rate unilaterally. Trump, speaking to reporters as he left the White House for a trip to Scotland, said, "We haven't really had a lot of luck with Canada. I think Canada could be one where there's just a tariff, not really a negotiation." The two nations are trying to work out a trade deal before August 1, when Washington is threatening to impose 35% tariffs on all Canadian goods not covered by the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. Prime Minister Mark Carney's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Canadian officials have increasingly made clear that the chances of a deal by August 1 are unlikely. Dominic LeBlanc, the federal cabinet minister in charge of US-Canada trade, told reporters in Washington on Thursday after two days of talks that "we've made progress, but we have a lot of work in front of us." LeBlanc said Canada would take the time necessary to get the best deal possible. Carney indicated last week that Canada might not be able to persuade the United States to lift all its sanctions.
