According to sources, as the US-Canada trade negotiations approach the deadline, US Secretary of Commerce Lutnick expressed dissatisfaction with the current draft agreement and is pushing for revisions. People familiar with the matter revealed that Lutnick is particularly opposed to reducing tariffs on Canadian cars from 25% to 15%, believing that this move will weaken America's efforts to encourage local production. This internal attitude contrasts with the optimistic signals recently sent by Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Carney to the outside world. Although US Trade Representative Greer said that an agreement to “protect American workers” has been reached, Lutnick's tough stance as a central figure in Trump's economic policy highlights differences within the US side. Currently, the US and Canada are making every effort to finalize the final agreement before the new tariffs come into effect in the early hours of Saturday morning. According to reports, the draft agreement may include provisions such as lowering Canadian steel and aluminum tariffs, adjusting dairy quotas, and lifting the ban on US alcohol by various Canadian provinces. Canadian Trade Minister LeBlanc said the two sides are “very close” to reaching an agreement.
