Carney to resume U.S. trade talks when Trump team shows respect

cbc.ca

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Monday he will resume trade negotiations with the U.S. when the Trump administration shows a willingness to treat Canada as an equal partner rather than a subsidiary. Carney walked away from talks Friday after the U.S. introduced last-minute demands he called unfair, including restrictions on Canadian trade deals and French-language protections. About $28 billion in Canadian exports now face 50 per cent tariffs, with Trump threatening further increases on autos, parts and steel by Jan. 1. Carney announced $11.3 billion for Quebec shipbuilding to build six icebreakers using Canadian steel. Ontario Premier Doug Ford suggested electricity surcharges, while Quebec said nothing is off the table. U.S. Vice-President JD Vance claimed Canada underinvests in its military and applies "ridiculous tariffs" on Maine products.
