The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, Sept. 13, edition that talks between Ottawa and Washington remain deadlocked. A triple bylined item in The Globe reports that Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland, who returned to Canada on Wednesday, said officials from both Canada and the United States are now in a "continuous negotiations phase." She declined to say when she would return to Washington. Trade players say they are being told that not much was achieved during the single day of talks this week between Ms. Freeland and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer. Trade lawyer Dan Ujczo said: "I heard it didn't go very well. The U.S. isn't moving much." An unnamed source said discussions remain stymied over dairy access and Chapter 19. The source said, as of Wednesday afternoon, there was no sign of a breakthrough. The source said that a deal did not seem possible this week even if Ms. Freeland returned to Washington in the next few days. Mr. Lighthizer meets with the House ways and means committee on Friday to talk about the state of trade talks with Mexico and Canada. Mexico, meanwhile, is drawing up the text of the proposed bilateral deal it reached with the U.S. in August.
