Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and US President Donald Trump spoke by phone as negotiators sought a last-minute agreement to prevent 50 percent US tariffs on about $20bn in Canadian imports. Experts and business officials warn the measures could cause job losses and closures in sectors including lumber, wine and dairy, while complicating wider USMCA negotiations.
