Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says she did not address stalled trade negotiations between Ottawa and the United States during her meeting with her U.S. counterpart at the G7 summit this week.

Anand said she met with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the margins of the G7 in the Niagara region this week to discuss a variety of foreign affairs issues, but said the trade relationship between Canada and the United States didn’t come up.
