Last week China blocked Canadian pork imports from two suppliers, part of escalation in tension between the two countries.
China is refusing permission to allow a Canadian trade delegation to visit … now Canada wants help from the US in dealing with China, but is not getting much:
- "It's a very challenging situation. When we raise it with the Americans they just say, 'Dealing with the Chinese is tough'," said a Canadian government source."It's also not clear who we should be targeting since you never know who is up and who is down in the administration at any given point," said the source, who requested anonymity given the sensitivity of the matter.
Given the latest developments on US - China trade talks:
- Pres. Trump: China tariffs will go up to 25% on $200B of goods on Friday
- ICYMI - US President Trump threatens higher tariffs on Chinese goods
Maybe its just as well ….
