Canadian officials say prospects of resuming talks with US President Trump
before the midterm elections are slim after negotiations collapsed. Prime
Minister Carney is preparing a domestic aid package to help firms hit by US
tariffs, designed to sustain businesses through the remainder of Trump’s term if
needed, sources said. Some sources cautioned the situation remains fluid and the
US has not ruled out reopening talks. Carney said the government will support
affected firms for as long as necessary, potentially beyond the current US
administration, and will publish details within days.
