JUST IN: Washington DROPPED Its Veto On Canada's Trade Deals. Then Canada Signed With China Twice

For months, U.S. negotiators pushed for a say over the trade deals Canada signs with other countries. On November 3, Mark Carney said that demand is now "off the table." In the same week, Canada extended its trade arrangement with China to the end of 2028, and China's vice premier came to Vancouver to sign new agreements. In January, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick called Canada's China deal "the silliest thing I've ever seen," and Donald Trump wrote that China would "eat Canada alive." Ten months later, Canadian goods exports to China are up 39 percent from January to September, to almost $35 billion.
