Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney reaffirmed Canada's commitment to protecting its sovereignty and national interests amid trade tensions with the United States, stating Canada will not pay any price for an agreement. Speaking at a Quebec shipyard event, Carney said negotiation goals are to secure the best deal for Canadians, not to meet timelines or accept unfavorable terms. He rejected any notion of Canada being a US subsidiary or facing industrial disadvantages, though he remains open to talks if the US shows genuine partnership. Carney called Trump's planned 50% tariffs on some goods unsurprising, saying the US is acting as expected. He also announced over 11 trillion won for six new icebreakers, creating about 5,000 jobs and contributing 650 million Canadian dollars annually to GDP.
