Carney reports progress in Canada-US trade talks as 50% tariffs bite

On Sunday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said talks on a Canada-US trade deal are making progress, days before the US midterm elections on Tuesday. The 50% US tariffs continue to cause damage, with a paper mill in Témiscaming, Quebec closed indefinitely, leaving hundreds out of work. Canada also announced an Alliance for the Future partnership with the EU on Thursday.
