This comes eight days before the U.K. midterm elections, with White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett suggesting the two countries are close to a deal. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc’s office said Canada remains in “constructive dialogue” with Washington. Canada rejected Washington’S terms in August after appearing close to an agreement, which Carney said crossed Canadian “red lines” when the president imposed 50% tariffs on roughly $20 billion in Canadian goods. The tariffs have become an issue in closely watched Senate races.
