OTTAWA - Prime Minister Mark Carney is scheduled to brief his cabinet and Canada's premiers today about the potential trade deal reached with the United States on Tuesday.
Carney will chair a virtual cabinet meeting and then hold a virtual meeting with premiers to discuss the deal that appears to have averted a new round of punishing tariffs on Canada.
President Donald Trump paused for three days the latest tariff threat on $28 billion worth of ºÃÉ«tv goods pending the finalization of the deal.
The U.S. said the threat was in response to trade irritants including the provincial bans on American alcohol in most provinces and Canada's dairy supply management system.
Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette said the supply management system is a "red line" for her province earlier today.
Carney says on social media the deal "reinforces the ºÃÉ«tv advantage" and contains "the best terms in each of Canada's most important strategic sectors."
