Jamieson Greer, the U.S. trade chief, is slated to testify before a congressional panel. The hearing will address the Trump administration's trade agenda. The testimony comes after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated on Tuesday that he and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to intensify negotiations on a trade agreement involving Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. This agreement to increase discussions occurred one day after the U.S. President announced tariffs of 50% on most Canadian goods.
