Canada to highlight deep US trading relationship in meeting with Bessent

BANFF, Alberta, May 21 (Reuters) - Canada's finance minister said on Friday he would raise the importance of the country's deep trading relationship with the U.S. in a discussion with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent late on Wednesday. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne will hold a bilateral meeting with Bessent on the sidelines of the G7 finance heads conference in Banff, Alberta. "There's a lot for Canada and the United States to discuss," Champagne said, referring to his meeting with Bessent. "Canada is the largest customer (of) the United States. We buy more from the U.S. than China, Japan, the UK and France combined. So we have a very, very deep trading relationship," he said.
