Canada and UK Eye Deeper Trade Ties Amidst Trump’s Unpredictability
Post-Brexit trade negotiations between the U.K. and Canada stalled due to disagreements over hormone-treated beef, resulting in negative consequences for both countries’ agricultural and automotive sectors. Former Canadian Minister Ralph Goodale urged the U.K. to resume negotiations, prioritizing areas like science, technology, and innovation. These bilateral talks are also crucial for Canada’s ratification of the U.K.’s CPTPP membership. Both nations seek to diversify their trade relationships, making renewed collaboration mutually beneficial.
