The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that Dominic LeBlanc, Canada's federal minister for trade, is heading to Washington for high-level talks with Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. The Globe's Robert Fife writes that this marks the first formal trade talks since President Donald Trump suspended negotiations in October. The discussions will focus on the upcoming review of the United States-Mexico-Canada free-trade agreement, also known as CUSMA. The Trump administration has until July 1 to notify the U.S. Congress whether it plans to change the agreement. Brian Clow, who managed Canada-U.S. relations under Justin Trudeau, said upcoming talks are likely to be strained. Mr. Trump has described the North American trade pact as "irrelevant" for the U.S. He has suggested Washington could leave the pact and strike separate bilateral deals with Canada and Mexico. Mr. Clow said the Americans will continue to "threaten and bully Canada" because they hope Ottawa will cave in to U.S. demands for trade concessions. On Wednesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney said the trilateral trade pact "effectively has been broken in the short term" by Mr. Trump's imposition of tariffs on Canadian autos, steel and aluminum.
