Joint statement from Ford and Lutnick. Includes an intriguing line that they will "discuss a renewed USMCA ahead of the April 2 reciprocal tariff deadline."

Ford said Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc will also be in the meeting with Lutnick tomorrow in Washington. (I haven't immediately confirmed this with LeBlanc's office)

Doug is spending almost as much time in the U.S. as Danielle Smith.

Doug Ford when asked if Lutnick will back off steel/alum tariffs: "He has to bounce it off the president, but I'm pretty confident he will pull back. I'm not speaking for them. I'm not speaking for the president." Adds Canada will respond dollar-for-dollar if new tariffs go in.
