Big gap remains between Canada and U.S. in ongoing trade talks: source

A source says a big gap remains between Canada and the United States as the two countries continue ongoing trade talks, with negotiators still split on major sticking points. The reporting indicates the differences involve the direction and scope of the deal rather than minor technical adjustments. While both sides have continued meetings, agreement appears distant, and the source suggests timelines could slip if progress remains limited. The update comes as officials work to manage political pressure and economic stakes tied to cross-border trade.
