Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump will likely talk “over the next number of days” following the U.S. decision to impose a 35 percent tariff on Canadian goods not covered under the free-trade agreement between Canada, the United States, and Mexico, the federal minister responsible for Canada-U.S. trade says.

Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc told CBS News’ “Face the Nation” that he was “encouraged” by recent discussions with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.
