Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly (pictured) confirmed on Wednesday that the negotiations with the United States about the tariffs and countermeasures the two countries imposed on each other, noting that the "things are very, very fluid" at the moment.

Speaking before the Toronto Region Board of Trade, Joly also announced that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will attend the meeting of the Group of Seven's (G7) foreign ministers, which will be held in Charlevoix, Quebec, from March 12 to 14.

Earlier in the day, US President Donald Trump and outgoing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had a phone call dedicated to the tariffs. After it, Trymp accused Trudeau of "trying to use this issue to stay in power."
