Jul 11, 2024, 04:25 PM
The United States and Canada have reached an agreement in principle to modernize the 60-year-old Columbia River Treaty. This treaty governs flood control and power generation in the Columbia River Basin, a crucial source of hydropower for both countries.

Prime Minister Trudeau issued a statement on the preliminary agreement.
