Canada’s premiers are in Washington this week as they look to push for US President Donald Trump to drop tariff threats for good.
According to the Canadian Press, all 13 provincial and territorial premiers will be part of the diplomatic push after Trump put a month-long pause on his plans to slap Canada with 25 per cent tariffs, with a lower 10 per cent levy on Canadian energy.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who is chair of the council, will be speaking to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce today, while other leaders will join the Washington mission tomorrow.
