Why this matters

US-Canada trade relations are a cornerstone of both economies, with billions in cross-border goods and services. A deal could ease tensions over tariffs and supply chains, while failure risks economic disruption. Carney's readiness signals a potential thaw in negotiations, though US claims of Canadian political interference add a layer of distrust.
