U.S. Maintains Firm Stance in Canada Trade Talks

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced Thursday that the United States is maintaining its current position in trade negotiations with Canada. In an interview with CNBC, Greer stated that the U.S. is "holding fast" regarding its demands.

Greer suggested that the Canadian government in Ottawa is currently preoccupied with a recent election in Quebec, which has slowed progress toward a deal. He indicated that the United States remains ready to engage in further discussions once Canada is prepared to reach an agreement.
