Description

North Dakota Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer tells Power & Politics he's 'encouraging' U.S. President Donald Trump to ‘extend’ his Aug. 1 deadline if there’s no deal with Canada, saying he doesn’t think a boilerplate tariff makes sense because ‘Canada is special.’ Meanwhile, Ontario’s Minister of Economic Development Vic Fedeli says his province is ‘ready for all eventualities.’
