LeBlanc’s spokesperson Gabriel Brunet says the minister will be joined by Chief Trade Negotiator Janice Charette for a meeting with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.

Official trade talks between Ottawa and Washington have yet to launch ahead of a mandatory review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico-Agreement on trade, better known as CUSMA.
The United States and Mexico have started negotiations.
U.S. President Donald Trump froze trade talks with Canada last year because he was angered by an Ontario-sponsored ad quoting former president Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs.
Greer recently said the Trump administration has significant trade issues with Canada.
When Trump signed CUSMA in 2020 he called it “the largest, fairest, most balanced, and modern trade agreement ever achieved”. Let’s renew that thing eh?
LeBlanc is going to get his ass kicked and give away the farm (literally). Sending a Liberal into the lions cave can only end one way.
Leblanc. A career lifelong Liberal crony is no match for Jamieson Greer who is school on economics (not law like Leblanc) and also was a Captain in the US Airforce. Canadian Lib MPs are bottom of the barrel.
Our politicians don’t work for us anymore. I don’t even know why they keep this little charade going but it’s not fooling anyone. Trump doesn’t want Canadian goods because they’re all so heavily subsidized “to keep our jobs” and their answer is to subsidize even more. Carney couldn’t manage a kid’s birthday party let alone a country the size of Canada
A year too late… “Who cares?” was Mark Carneys previous stance on US trade… Wonder what changed. Recession perhaps?
Leblanc will wear his MAGA hat as Carney told everyone last week he wants to Make America Great Again.
Oh so what. This boob has done nothing but spend money on getting no results. Such a waste.
In over a year, Leblanc has not delivered on anything and I am sure he will come back empty handed again and just make more excuses
