The growing trade war with the United States will be top of the agenda when Canada's premiers meet with Prime Minister Mark Carney today.
The premiers say they want to hear more about Carney's plans to respond to U.S. President Donald Trump's Aug. 1 deadline to get a trade deal done.
In a letter to Carney on July 10, Trump threatened to impose 35-per-cent tariffs on Canadian goods by Aug. 1, setting a new deadline for trade talks that were supposed to have wrapped up by now.
