Meeting with Lutnick on tariffs was constructive, Canadian ministers say
WASHINGTON, March 13 (Reuters) - Canadian ministers emerged from a lengthy, high-level meeting between Canada and the United States on Thursday without immediate relief from U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports, but they said the discussion was constructive and that talks would continue.
Speaking to reporters at the Canadian embassy in Washington, Canadian Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said he and Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc spoke about economic security and national security with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, making clear the impact tariffs would have on both sides of the border.
"I would say that we leave Washington, I think, better equipped in making sure that we can defend Canadian interests," Champagne said.
LeBlanc said the two sides agreed to continue discussions.
