The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that Canada and the United States are negotiating a deal in which Ottawa would concede on a long list of Trump administration trade demands in exchange for some relief on sectoral tariffs. A triple-bylined item led by Adrian Morrow says that the two countries are in an intensive phase of talks and are trading in-depth proposals. At the centre of the proposals is a swap. Canada would agree to a range of U.S. demands: removing retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products such as autos; the return of American alcohol to shelves; removing provincial procurement restrictions; and agreeing to Washington's interpretation of how dairy quotas should be allocated. The U.S. has a priority list of around 10 items it wants dealt with. In return, the U.S. would lower sectoral levies, known as Section 232 tariffs, on steel and aluminum, with Ottawa also pushing for relief on autos and forest products. Canada is also hoping to avoid U.S. President Donald Trump's latest round of threatened tariffs, scheduled to take effect on Aug. 19. Canada and the U.S. are furthest apart on auto and lumber tariffs, which could make it hard for Ontario and British Columbia to end their alcohol bans.
