Melanie Joly says she believes a diplomatic solution to U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods is possible.

Joly will travel to Washington this week to meet with Secretary of State Marco Rubio to discuss the tariff threat.

Trump has promised to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canada imports, citing imbalances in trade and defence spending.

Public Safety Minister David McGuinty says the RCMP and Canada Border Services Agency are “making huge progress” on implementing Canada ’s border security plan.

The U.S. Census Bureau puts the deficit for goods traded with Canada at US$64.3 billion in 2023 .

Canada sold more goods to the US . than it bought, a pattern that has existed at various levels for the past 40 years .

Trump has repeatedly equated subsidies with trade deficits.

Joly says energy exports are a major cause of the deficit, but that if those are removed the U.K. actually has a $60-billion trade surplus.
