The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc presented proposals to end Donald Trump's trade war with Canada during a meeting with the U.S. President's top negotiator in Washington on Tuesday. The Globe's Adrian Morrow and Mark Rendell write that Mr. LeBlanc also urged for the renewal of the U.S.-Canada-Mexico Agreement for another 16 years. However, the U.S. excluded Canada from formal USMCA review talks with Mexico, while Mr. Trump revived annexation threats. Nevertheless, Mr. LeBlanc said trade negotiations are gathering steam. He said: "We are continuing to deepen the level of detail in the conversations and that's what's important. It wasn't a high-level discussion. We went into detail on the issues that concern the Americans." Mr. LeBlanc declined to say what specifically he and Janice Charette, Canada's chief trade negotiator, proposed to Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. In a Truth Social post the night before the meeting, Mr. Trump wrote "51st State!" over a link to a story about the weakness of the Canadian economy. Prime Minister Mark Carney shrugged off the dig. "We're not going to respond or react to everything that he posts," Mr. Carney said.
