Canada races to avert 50% US tariffs as deadline looms

Canadian officials are in last-ditch talks to avoid 50% US tariffs on $20.2bn of exports, set to take effect Wednesday. Prime Minister Mark Carney called negotiations 'delicate' and 'intense,' with provincial disputes over dairy and alcohol complicating a deal. The tariffs, the first under Section 338, would hit goods previously duty-free under USMCA.
