· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The United States and Canada are negotiating to reach a truce on tariffs before the deadline of 12:01 a.m. Wednesday set by U.S. President Donald Trump. If an agreement is not reached, Trump has threatened to impose a 50% tariff on $20 billion worth of Canadian products, ranging from hockey sticks to tongue depressors. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Trump have spoken twice by phone in the past two days about the ongoing trade negotiations, including another call on Tuesday afternoon, according to Carney's office, highlighting the last-minute push to reach a deal before the deadline. 'We are negotiating,' Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told the press on Monday. 'The negotiations are very intense and delicate. This is not the time to talk about negotiations in public.'
