## Resource

Trade talks between the U.S. and Canada stall as U.S. negotiator Jamieson Greer says little progress is being made, despite Canada rolling back two contentious taxes — a digital services tax and a streaming levy — that had threatened to derail talks. While Canada insists it’s ready to move forward with fair proposals, Greer dismisses tax rollbacks as insufficient goodwill. Both sides agree that a breakthrough will likely require top-level diplomacy — specifically between President Trump and Prime Minister Trudeau — to secure a truly beneficial deal for North America.
