The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday, Oct. 11, edition that Prime Minister Mark Carney reports ongoing high-level negotiations in the Trump administration for tariff relief on key Canadian sectors, including the revival of the Keystone XL pipeline. The Globe's Robert Fife writes that Dominic LeBlanc, the minister responsible for U.S. trade, on Friday said that Canadian officials will continue talks with U.S. officials over the weekend. An unnamed source says the discussions are substantive and that Mr. LeBlanc is expected to return to Washington early next week. On Friday the PM acknowledged that the U.S. talks are at a critical stage. Ottawa wants to ensure that industries are not adversely affected when the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement is renewed next year, as it allows about 85 per cent of Canadian goods to enter the U.S. duty-free. On Friday Mr. Carney mentioned that both sides are focusing on several energy projects, including reviving the Keystone oil pipeline from Alberta to Texas, which was cancelled by former president Joe Biden. Mr. Carney said members of his government have held talks with possible proponents of Keystone, but he did not get into details about which companies have been approached.
