Canada’s negotiating team is intensifying trade talks with the United States after they hit a snag last month, and a July 21 deadline to conclude some kind of agreement is looming.
The talks are following a separate track from U.S. negotiations with dozens of other nations. Those had been scheduled to conclude by Wednesday, but President Trump extended their deadline to Aug. 1.
Canadian officials at various levels are communicating with their United States counterparts almost daily, according to Kirsten Hillman, the country’s ambassador to the U.S. and its chief trade negotiator.
