Can Canada Still Trust America on Trade?

Canada is considering a tentative trade agreement with the US that would prevent new tariffs but requires significant Canadian concessions, including easing retaliation measures and allowing US alcohol into provincial stores. The deal would maintain existing US tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automobiles at reduced levels, representing a major departure from Canada's previous stance that such tariffs violate the USMCA agreement. This potential shift reflects the ongoing tension in US-Canada trade relations and could have implications for both nations' economies, particularly the auto supply chain.
