LeBlanc has 'constructive' meeting with U.S. counterpart as trade talks continue

Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc had a "constructive [and] lengthy" meeting with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in Washington on Tuesday morning, the minister's office said.

The meeting comes as the two countries have yet to reach some sort of trade agreement since U.S. President Donald Trump began his tariff campaign after returning to the White House in January.

A Canadian source told CBC news that Tuesday's meeting between the two was meant to last an hour, but went for 90 minutes. The source said there was a sense of optimism on the Canadian side following the meeting.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced last Friday that Canada will drop some retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products to match American tariff exemptions for goods covered under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade, called CUSMA.

You may find 'nobility' in a savage. But never forget that his first instinct is to kill you.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
