Trump accuses Carney of lying over trade deal French language claims

nationalpost.com

U.S. President Donald Trump accused Prime Minister Mark Carney of lying about the failed trade deal with Canada on Tuesday, a claim he made in a social media post on Tuesday. Trump claimed the deal's failure to protect French language rights was a fabricated issue. He said he loves French Canadians. Trump wrote on Truth Social that he would never interfere with Canadians speaking French, calling Carney's claim a lie made by a weak and ineffective prime minister. The accusation follows Carney's Monday remarks that Americans viewed French language and culture as "irritants" during negotiations, while Canada treats them as rights. Carney previously said he walked away from a deal threatening French language and culture. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer dismissed the story as fake, citing disputes over Canadian laws requiring American tech companies to support Canadian content.
