California Governor Gavin Newsom expressed strong confidence that President Trump will soon restart trade negotiations with Canada. He believes internal pressure from within the Republican Party will compel Trump to return to the table after talks were unexpectedly halted last week. Newsom stated he is “absolutely” sure a resumption of discussions will occur “in a matter of days.” The abrupt end to negotiations had raised concerns about the future of trade relations between the two countries. Newsom’s prediction suggests a belief that pragmatic considerations and party influence will outweigh any current reluctance from the President. This potential return to talks offers a glimmer of hope for resolving outstanding trade issues.
