In a concerted effort to address the ongoing trade tensions, six governors from Northeastern US states have invited Canadian provincial leaders to a summit in Boston. The meeting aims to discuss the implications of tariffs imposed during the Trump administration and to strengthen cross-border trade relations. Maine Governor Janet Mills, along with other governors, emphasized the importance of collaboration with Canadian premiers to navigate the challenges presented by the current trade environment. This initiative reflects a desire among the Northeastern states to sidestep federal complications and foster a more cooperative approach to trade with Canada.
