Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not expected to meet with a top Iranian official who dropped in to the G7 summit unannounced on Sunday, August 25, 2019, even as other Group of Seven leaders and officials have been sitting down to talk about how to save Iran's fissuring nuclear deal.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau arrived on Friday, August 23, 2019, for this weekend's long-awaited G7 summit in France, where he plans to try to shore up Canada's trade and economic interests in one-on-one meetings with several world leaders before the official gathering gets underway.

David MacNaughton, the U.S. ambassador who became the fulcrum of the federal Liberal government's strategy for managing relations with an impetuous and unpredictable White House, says he plans to step down from the post at the end of the summer.

The U.S. House of Representatives began its summer break today, July 29, 2019, leaving the ratification of the new North American trade deal hanging, rekindling angst that a frustrated President Donald Trump will blow up the existing pact.

The ranking U.S. diplomat on drug enforcement policy is to visit Ottawa in July to kick-start a fresh round of co-operation between the two countries on tackling the opioid crisis.

Justin Trudeau's meeting with Donald Trump in Washington on Thursday, June 20, 2019, is set to be a deal-making session that could turn on an exchange of favours on North American trade and the plight of two imprisoned Canadians in China.

The United States will link the liberation of the two Canadians imprisoned by China to its free-trade talks with the People's Republic, U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence pledged on Thursday, May 30, 2019.

The NAFTA-bashing president of the United States used his state of the union speech on Tuesday, February 5, 2019, to urge a divided, combative Congress to come together to ratify a continental trade pact he's convinced will breathe new life into America's moribund manufacturing sector.

American automakers, aluminum producers, manufacturers and farmers are running out of time, money and patience as the North American tariff standoff persists, and they're pleading with the United States to put an end to it.

President Donald Trump is leaning ever more towards declaring a national emergency at the southern U.S. border, and insists the new trade pact with Canada and Mexico will more than cover the cost of his long-promised wall project.

Nancy Pelosi, a veteran Democrat brawler and vocal critic of Canada's trade agreement with the United States and Mexico, resumed her role on Thursday, January 3, 2019, as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, becoming the first woman in history to hold the gavel twice in her political career.

Canada's pressure to include "soft things" like labour standards in the new North American free-trade treaty will help secure critical support for the deal from Democrats in the United States Congress, the Canadian ambassador to the U.S. says.

The original NAFTA deal has landed back atop Donald Trump's hit list, with the U.S. president again declaring he intends to terminate the 24-year-old trade pact — a move that appears designed to pressure lawmakers on Capitol Hill into approving its recently negotiated successor.

Canada will put pen to paper on its new trade pact with the U.S. and Mexico on Friday, November 30, 2018, even though officials were still combing through the fine print on Thursday.

The head of Canada's largest autoworkers union wants Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to borrow the tactics of the U.S. president and get tough with General Motors, Donald Trump-style.
