2026年10月26日,加拿大总理卡尼在渥太华表示,近期加拿大与美国的贸易谈判出现“轻微的升温”迹象 1。尽管双方对话频率增加且白宫国家经济委员会主任凯文·哈西特声称谈判已“加速”,但卡尼明确指出加方立场并未改变 1。他强调,“目前取得的任何进展,都源于美国正在靠近我们的立场” 1。
此前,今年8月的谈判曾因美方在法语文化、汽车、关键矿产及主权等议题上提出加方无法接受的要求而破裂 1。特朗普曾对约200亿美元的加拿大商品加征50%关税,加拿大随后进行对等反击 1。2026年10月23日,特朗普宣布取消部分对加拿大商品的50%关税,同时对其他产品加征关税 1。加方拒绝为赶在美国中期选举前签署“坏协议” 1。目前,加拿大首席贸易谈判代表贾妮丝·沙雷特称双方仍在探讨是否重回谈判桌,具体时间不明 1。
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated on October 26, 2026, that there has been a "slight thaw" in trade negotiations between Canada and the United States 1. He emphasized that any progress achieved is the result of the US moving closer to Canada’s position, while noting that Ottawa’s stance remains unchanged 1. This development follows a period where dialogue frequency increased, although significant disagreements persist 1.
The relationship had deteriorated earlier this year when talks broke down in August due to unacceptable US demands regarding French language culture, automotive sectors, critical minerals, and sovereignty issues 1. In response to previous actions by former President Trump, who imposed 50% tariffs on approximately $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, Canada retaliated with equivalent measures 1. On October 23, 2026, Trump announced the cancellation of some of these 50% tariffs but simultaneously raised duties on other products 1.
Currently, key officials are assessing the next steps. Janice Charette, Canada’s chief trade negotiator, indicated that discussions are ongoing about whether both sides will return to the negotiating table, though no specific timeline has been established 1. Meanwhile, Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council at the White House, reported that US-Canada negotiations have "accelerated" 1. Despite this momentum, Canadian authorities refuse to sign a "bad deal" merely to meet the deadline before the US midterm elections 1.
