Canada–U.S. tariff talks near a deal as autos and liquor concessions surface

US and Canada say their tariff agreement is very close, with concessions on autos, metals, and farm goods. A midnight deadline looms as negotiators discuss lowering auto tariffs toward 15%, restoring some steel exemptions, and easing digital services taxes, while liquor-store policies and Keystone XL remain on the table amid broader trade talks that could avert 50% tariffs if a deal isn’t reached.
