Kanada bemüht sich, Trumpfzölle trotz Carney -Zugeständnisse zu lindern

Canada no longer expects to win full tariff relief from the US despite recent talks in Washington after Ottawa lifted many retaliatory duties. A Canadian delegation led by Dominic LeBlanc met US officials including Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and reported progress but said several technical issues remain unresolved. Prime Minister Carney lifted most reciprocal tariffs to pursue a deal, yet Canada still faces steep levies on key exports such as steel, aluminium, autos, copper and softwood lumber not covered by USMCA. The concessions have drawn mixed reactions, with criticism for abandoning earlier firmness and praise for pragmatic steps aimed at protecting the economy. Observers note Canada is isolated compared with other major partners that secured deals with the US, suggesting concessions were necessary to try to regain tariff relief.
