Sources: The US-Canada trade agreement may be reached before next week's G7 summit.
According to the Toronto Sun, a U.S.-Canada trade deal could be reached at any time next week after a speech by Pete Hoekstra, Trump's new ambassador to Canada. In his speech, Pete Hoekstra said: "I'm optimistic about the current relationship, and I'm even more optimistic about where I think it's going. Although he didn't dwell on the specifics, his words sparked enthusiasm in the audience. One source commented: "The agreement could be reached before the G7 summit on June 15, perhaps as early as next week. Other Canadian sources said that "after Pete Hoekstra's speech, Ottawa knew what they needed to do", that "the next 48 to 72 hours will be critical" and that "Carney's team aims to reach an agreement before the G7 summit".
