According to the source, there is an impasse in the United States-Ca

On 15 August, according to information from the Canadian side, as the deadline for United States tariffs on Canada approaches, and as there are significant differences on core interest claims, there is currently a stalemate in the United States-United States tariff negotiations. According to the information received, senior trade officials of the two countries have been conducting intensive consultations in Washington, D.C., on several occasions, but the positions of the two sides are far apart and there are no signs of agreement. On 20 July, the President of the United States, Trump, signed a number of announcements imposing an additional 50 per cent tariff on hundreds of specific goods imported from Canada, including wine, hockey sticks and cement, under section 338 of the Smut-Holly Customs Act. The new tariff measures will enter into force on 19 August, United States Eastern Time. In addition, tariffs imposed by the United States on Canadian steel aluminium, automobiles and timber since last year remain. (In Russian)
