US and Canada in last-minute talks to avert 50% tariffs on $20 billion in Canadian goods

The US and Canada are holding urgent last-minute talks to prevent Washington from imposing 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods. Tensions between the two nations were already elevated due to trade disputes and President Trump's inflammatory remarks about making Canada the 51st US state. The outcome of the talks could have major consequences for bilateral relations.
