Kirsten Hillman, Canada's ambassador to the U.S., indicated that officials are in daily communication. The urgency of the deadline was highlighted when Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Trump discussed trade during a recent G7 summit in Canada. Hillman expressed confidence in reaching a resolution, citing the familiarity and rapport between the two leaders. This unique circumstance emphasizes that while Canada has a special trade relationship with the U.S., it remains uncertain whether they will achieve a more favorable outcome compared to other nations involved in U.S. trade negotiations.

Canada's trade team is ramping up discussions with the U.S. following a pause last month, with a critical deadline for a resolution looming on July 21. These negotiations differ significantly from the broader trade talks initiated by the U.S. with multiple countries, for which an August 1 deadline was recently set.
