Carney open to resuming U.S. trade talks when Trump shows 'right attitude'

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Monday he will resume trade negotiations with the U.S. only when the Trump administration shows a "right attitude" and stops treating Canada as a subsidiary, following Canada's withdrawal from talks last week. Carney cited unfair U.S. demands that would restrict Canada's trade deals with other countries and threaten French-language protections, while $28 billion in Canadian exports face 50 per cent tariffs. He rejected an auto deal he said would degrade the industry. Trump threatened to raise tariffs on Canadian autos, parts and steel to 50 per cent by Jan. 1. Ontario Premier Doug Ford suggested electricity surcharges, while Carney announced $11.3 billion for Quebec shipbuilding and remained open to further measures.
