Where do Canada-U.S. trade negotiations stand? Here's a sector-by-sector breakdown
Canada and the U.S. are at an impasse in trade negotiations as the threat of 50 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods looms. The U.S. is demanding changes to Canadian auto, dairy, and alcohol policies, while Ottawa struggles to secure concessions.
Why it matters
The potential imposition of significant tariffs could severely disrupt the integrated North American economy and impact trade relations between the two nations.
But after a flurry of meetings between top Canadian and American negotiators over the last three weeks, the two countries remain at an impasse heading into the home stretch.
Sources have told CBC News that Canadian negotiators fear there may be no way to avert Trump's 50 per cent tariffs on hundreds of Canadian goods, as Washington digs in on its demands while Ottawa tries to persuade provinces to lift restrictions on American alcohol.
The U.S. claims it's imposing the tariffs because of Canadian discrimination toward its automobile, dairy and alcohol sectors.
With two days left to negotiate, here's what sources have told CBC News about where Canada-U.S. trade talks stand on Monday morning, broken down by each key sector.
