Chief negotiator Kirsten Hillman says Canada remains confident it can reach a deal that scraps all levies by July 21, despite Trump’s recent threats to end talks.
Truth: There is Zero Chance to get All Trump Tariffs Lifted… Anyone with IQ above 125 should know this is the case.
Here is the scoop:-
Canada still aims to get all Trump tariffs lifted as part of deal with U.S., ambassador to Washington says
The Canadian government is still aiming to get all of U.S. President Donald Trumpâs tariffs lifted as part of a deal with the White House later this month, Ottawaâs ambassador in Washington says.
Kirsten Hillman, who is also Canadaâs chief negotiator in the talks, told The Globe and Mail on Tuesday that she remained confident the country can get the levies cancelled as part of negotiations for a new economic and security partnership, which Prime Minister Mark Carney has promised by a self-imposed July 21 deadline.
âThatâs our plan,â she said on the sidelines of a Canada Day celebration at the embassy in Washington, when asked if it was still realistic to get all of Mr. Trumpâs tariffs lifted. âThatâs our goal, thatâs what weâre fighting for.â

Ms. Hillman expressed confidence despite a contretemps in which Mr. Trump on Friday threatened to walk away from the bargaining table and impose more tariffs if Canada went ahead with a digital services tax. Mr. Carney agreed to cancel the DST on Sunday, and negotiations resumed.
The White House said afterward that Mr. Carney had âcavedâ to Mr. Trump on the tax demand. The ambassador on Tuesday declined to comment on the matter.
The Prime Minister promised a deal with Mr. Trump in his election campaign earlier this year, with the agreement meant to cover a range of border security, military and commercial issues. At the mid-June G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alta., the pair set a deadline to finish talks within 30 days.
The President and his point man on talks with Canada, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, have insisted that their ultimate goal is to get the U.S. to stop importing all autos, steel and other products from Canada. Mr. Trump said during a May meeting in Washington with Mr. Carney that there was nothing the Prime Minister could say to change his mind on tariffs.
As The Globe and Mail reported last week, Canadian business leaders have recently been asked by Ottawaâs negotiating team what level of tariffs they could live with, signalling that Mr. Carney may be preparing for a deal that leaves at least some of the levies in place.
In a trade deal between the U.S. and Britain, for instance, the White House agreed to ease its punitive measures but still kept some tariffs on.
Ms. Hillman, in her Canada Day address on Tuesday, acknowledged that âthe last few months have been more challenging than many of us would have likedâ in the Canada-U.S. relationship.
âItâs complicated, and itâs also a relationship, as I think our Prime Minister has said, thatâs in transition, and thatâs okay. Itâs a relationship in transition at a time that our world is in transition,â the ambassador told the crowd.
Canadians are so lowly intelligent that they bought this cheap “Elbow Up” scam hook, line, and sinker… sigh

The event was imbued with added significance this year: The U.S. capitalâs large community of Canadian expats, and a smattering of Americans with ties to Canada, packed into several rooms on the embassyâs ground floor to fete one of the countries most heavily targeted by Mr. Trumpâs global trade war, within sight of the U.S. Capitol.
Canada is disproportionately hit by the Presidentâs 50-per-cent tariffs on steel and aluminum, and his 25-per-cent tariff on autos. In addition, both Canada and Mexico face 25-per-cent levies on anything not traded under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, with the exception of oil, gas and potash, which are taxed at 10 per cent.
The ambassador warned that the two countries must not âtake for grantedâ their relationship and must be better at highlighting it, from co-operation on fighting wars and forest fires, to Gander, N.L., taking in stranded travellers on 9/11.
âIf weâve taken for granted what we have as two countries, letâs make sure we stop doing that,â she said. âAs anything that is really valuable, it needs care and attention and resolve.â
This Canada Day is taking place during âa momentous year,â she said.
âThis is a little heavier message than my usual Canada Day,â she said, âwhich is mostly âwoo hoo, letâs party!â â
Some say the problem is not that Carney is stupid. The problem is that he thinks Canadians are stupid…
