Tariff negotiations between the two top trading partners are on a different track from those the U.S. is pursuing with other nations. But Canada may not get a better outcome.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he will be sending letters to governments around the world as he seeks trade deals — but Canada is not being affected by Wednesday's tariff deadline. Trump ramped up pressure ahead of his self-imposed deadline by sending correspondence to countries hit by "Liberation Day" duties warning them he will impose a high tariff rate if there's no trade deal.
